YouTube Video Description

@user-rs2nr4ud1g Join us as we tour an Explorer Suite Stateroom aboard a Viking Longship, the Mimir for the Grand European Tour from Budapest to Amsterdam. We answer the question, is it worth the extra cost? If price is your primary factor, Standard Staterooms provide the lowest price option along with the full Viking River Cruise experience. But if you need more space, the Veranda or Explorer Suite may be the option for you, but it comes at a cost. Look for our opinion and tips for making this a successful voyage with plenty of tips. Since all Viking Longships have the same layout, this Explorer Suite Cabin category ES, stateroom 341, would be the same if you choose to sail on any of these ships! 👉 Need help deciding what to wear on your Viking River Cruise?
