Viking River Cruises

If we ever take a non-Viking River Cruise, I may need to change the name of this page and subdomain...

In October 2019, Linda and I took our first Viking River Cruise - Danube Waltz. At the time of that original writing / summary (linked below), we weren't sure whether or not we'd take another. Well, that didn't last long...
And now we've taken seven of them!

It was inevitable, but we have probably taken our last Viking River Cruise.
Now, I didn't say our last cruise, or even our last Viking Cruise, but just our last Viking River cruise.
"Why?" might you ask? Because for the first time, we are taking a Viking "Ocean" Cruise. You can click here to go to the Viking Ocean Cruises subdomain.
