YouTube Video Description

I recently completed a transatlantic cruise on the Viking Sky. The cruise was called A Viking's Crossing. It started in Barcelona, stopped on the islands of Madeira in Portugal and St. Martin in the Caribbean, and finished in Fort Lauderdale. This video is an overview of the cruise experience. If you would like to know more about the ship's layout and the cruise destinations, see my videos below. This trip was not on my bucket list. I had never thought of taking a transatlantic cruise because I'm more interested in visiting destinations than in the cruise experience. However, my sister and brother-in-law had booked it and invited me to join them. It definitely exceeded my expectations!
