Editorial Summary

The creators document their experiences traveling through the Norwegian fjords on the Viking Sea. The journey includes a mountain excursion in Molde that offers spectacular views despite a terrifying ascent. Onboard activities include afternoon tea in the Winter Garden and a five course Asian inspired dinner at the Chef's Table, which features dishes such as king crab soup, lobster and chicken dumplings, and Peking Duck. The following day, the ship arrives in Geiranger for scenic cruising. The creators describe the landscape as a fairytale setting with snow covered mountains and waterfalls. After enjoying a full English breakfast and relaxing in the ship's solarium and hot tub, they visit the World Cafe buffet for lunch. The excursion continues with a drive through narrow roads and hairpin turns to reach the top of Mount Kalfjorden. The creators conclude that the views are breathtaking and describe the cruise as one of the prettiest experiences they have ever had.
