Creator's Key Takeaways

they don't allow anybody under 18 on the ship so if you have children well you might as well forget about it

during lunch time and dinner time they serve complementary alcohol which is beer and wine you can have as much as you want

all of the rooms are all balcony rooms you're not going to be stuck in some inside cabin or something with just a porthole

there's no casino on the ship now if you're a gambler and you're looking to uh uh be gambling while you're on your cruise vacation obviously Vikings not going to be the place for you
