YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

I was hosted by Viking Cruise Line as part of a PR trip and they paid for my cruise and roundtrip airfare to Paris. I did not receive any compensation nor was I under any obligation to post content as part of this trip. As always, all opinions are my own and I will ALWAYS be upfront with you when I did not pay my own way. Enjoy the video! Every year thousands of people choose cruising as a convenient way to tour Europe! But which KIND of cruise should you choose? Today I'm comparing and contrasting river and ocean cruising in Europe and letting you know which one I would book if I were you! Enjoy! ON THE DISNEY DREAM my itinerary included stops in Naples, Mykonos, Santorini and Chania (Crete). On Viking, I sailed on the Paris and The Heart of Normandy itinerary with multiple stops including 2 nights near Paris. https://www.vikingrivercruises.com/cruise-destinations/europe/paris-heart-normandy/2023-paris-paris/index.html Want to send me snail mail?: PO Box 5054, Alpharetta, GA 30023 And for business inquiries, feel free to email me at jenlefforge@gmail.com I hope youโ€™ll come find me on all the other things as well! : โ€ขFacebookโ†’ https://www.facebook.com/JenLefforgeyoutube โ€ขInstagramโ†’ https://www.instagram.com/jenlefforge/ โ€ขWebsite (and to sign up for our newsletter) https://jenlefforge.com/ Music by Epidemic Sound http://www.epidemicsound.com/โ€‹ I use AFFILIATE LINKS under almost all of my videos.
