Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm Bob Bradley from the Pampered Cruiser and if you're planning a trip on Viking or any other small ship ocean River or Expedition Cruise Line then we'd love to help you out

the amount of public space I didn't bother to go and count all the seats but I can tell you that everywhere we went whether it be a restaurant or a lounge or any of the public spaces there was always tons of room there was always a place to sit

the Nordic balcony room itself the square footage is listed on these rooms as being around 220 square feet and it feels way bigger than that it is probably the best engineered stateroom I've been on any ship anywhere

the Great Lakes I'll post a separate video on that but it uh it actually pleasantly surprised me I I thought I would enjoy the itinerary but I actually really really enjoyed it

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book a private dining room as soon as you get on board because it sells out quickly
βœ“Consider booking on board the ship with the future Cruise consultant to get extra perks
