Creator's Key Takeaways

Viking sticks to its theme of understated luxury combined with a love of learning.

The Viking Jupiter is an all veranda ship, which means that every single room has a balcony and fresh air.

I was worried that they'd be too crowded, but you're split into groups of no more than 30 and the organization to get everybody on and off the ship is phenomenal.
