Creator's Key Takeaways

I have worked with Viking before. They are a fabulous brand. It is a fabulous experience.

This will be my third time sailing with them. My second ocean cruise and I've also done a river cruise.

It's also a solo trip. I know. Which I haven't done a really ambitious solo trip in a minute.

Viking has uh their founder said Viking is a thinking man's cruise, not a drinking man's cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Always have an emergency set of clothes with you on the airplane.
Fold clothes neatly to avoid wrinkles; use packing cubes to clamp them down.
If buying Rag and Bone sweatpant jeans, wash and dry them before hemming as they shrink.
