Another lovely episode Rich & Helen. I'm absolutely besotted with Viking Ocean. All my Viking cruises have been aboard the ocean ships. Everything about Viking ticks my boxes. Scandinavian Modern floating Zen palace at sea. It's as if Torstein Hagen saw my personal wish list for a cruise line, then went to work. I can tell the difference between the ships from the art in The Restaurant. Immediately recognized the paintings of Norwegian artist Kenneth Blom aboard Viking Orion.
Wonderful guys!! My wife and are going on Viking in November so your video is perfect time!!
hello Rich
Terribly sorry to bother you, I was wondering if it all possible that on any of your upcoming reviews or videos on cruising could you do a small segment or share a segment heart regarding food allergies I think your lovely wife is chosen some vegetarian at times I’m asking for food, allergies, but more gluten-free celiac how careful some of the ships are in regarding those particular true allergies versus a choice or substitution.
As always truly enjoy your videos thanks so much all the best to you and Mrs.
Rich … one mistake I noticed when you said the Chefs Table rather than the Kitchen table when talking about included items …. The Chefs Table, as you know, is included , the Kitchen Table .. an option …. It’s around the 13 minute and a half mark
Rich and Helen …. Bravo you did it again… wonderfully shot beautifully written… complete… witty .. fun … after 6 Viking cruises and one coming in 10 more months … you captured the true essence of the experience of , what I believe, to be out best memories at sea …again BRAVO!!!
