Creator's Key Takeaways

this is definitely a trip of a lifetime with just 930 guests on board the small size of Vikings ocean ships gave us the opportunity to access more ports

the sea was calm and soothing and I looked forward to relaxing on myed balcony in the warm air surrounded by living history that I'd only read about in books

Vikings I itineraries are destination focused with enrichment lectures on board Viking has won the most Awards worldwide for the best cruise line

would I do it again yes each sailing would be different depending on the excursions that I choose

I recently took a Viking cruise from Venice to Athens on the Empires of the Mediterranean itinerary, and I want to share with you the details about it and whether or not I'd recommend you book a Viking cruise.
