Creator's Key Takeaways

Viking does not try to be all things to all people and this is one of my favorite slides because they really do set themselves apart they appeal to those mature adults who are interested in art history culture and geography

no casinos on board or children under 18 there are no umbrella drinks and so no additional charges

no charge for unlimited Wi-Fi this is such a game changer for me especially if I'm working while I'm on the ship

Viking always has included Shore Excursion every Port of Call

Creator's Tips & Advice

Come in early or stay late to acclimate to the time change and explore the cities
Book staterooms midship if you tend toward motion sickness
Bring your own binoculars for viewing scenery and wildlife
Do laundry early or late on sea days to avoid lines
Consider the higher stateroom categories for priority shore excursion booking
