Creator's Key Takeaways

we are on the Viking Sky sailing between Istanbul and Athens and it's really a beautiful ship

the Viking sky has one of the best thermal AAS we've seen on any ship

the Viking Bar this quickly became our favorite place to get a pre-dinner cocktail

it's a five course meal and it's a chef's de gustason menu so one night it might be a California theme
