Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been on over um 150 cruises. I stopped counting at 150.

Viking doesn't have any casinos or any, um, children's programs and all of that space that would normally be dedicated to those types of services are actually dedicated to public space.

There's an included excursion in every port, beer and wine with lunch and dinner, you know, there's not a lot of incidentals to pay for.

The higher category you book um if you're in a suite then you have access to the excursions earlier than the people do in the penthouse verandas.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book at least a deluxe veranda cabin to get earlier access to excursion bookings.
Work with an experienced travel agent to ensure the best prices and promotions.
Consider the risk-free cancellation policy for flexibility.
