EUROPE 2022-2023 VOYAGES

4


If Europe were a book, it would be a hardcover page-turner. Its riveting historical plot would tell stories of famous musicians, sculptors and genius painters; of vintners, bakers and farmers; of war heroes and resistance fighters; of royals and boundary breakers; of irreverent architects, scientists and seafarers. Its pages would overflow with alpine peaks, endless patchworks of farmed fields and bustling cities, and there would be a whole chapter on castles overlooking meandering rivers. From the Danube to the Rhine, the rivers of Europe and the countries through which they run are as scenic as they are spellbinding. In Amsterdam, marvel at the iconic windmills and picturesque fields of tulips. Explore Prague — ‘the city of a hundred spires’ — and sample some of the world’s finest beers. Experience the healing thermal waters and flamboyant architecture of Budapest. Take in the vast musical heritage and magnificent imperial palaces of Vienna. If Europe were a book, you would never tire of reading it… 5

GUEST REVIEWS Before you read any fur ther, let me just say that when you go with Viking, you go with the best! Ever y thing was exactly as they promised, no surprises, ever y convenience is thought of for the guests. Transfers/ excursions were a piece of cake. Our river cruise was so refreshing that there was always plenty of room to hang out in the Aquavit Lounge, on the bow, on the Sun Deck. I loved that we cruised during the daylight. We slid open our stateroom door (French balcony) and watched ever y thing we happened to be cruising by. Great food and plenty of it. Lots of choices. Our Cruise Director was just fantastic. Our nex t cruise will definitely be with Viking. And we can hardly wait. – UTAH GIRLS, 2019

Boarding our ship in Budapest, we felt as though we had jumped into a pile of down pillows. Our tour director advised they are here to provide a seamless cultural experience, and he proceeded to do so for the entire trip. The most challenging decision we had to make each day was whether to have break fast in the dining room or foredeck café. Air conditioning made the staterooms always feel fresh. The technology behind the scenes in these ships is first class. We are looking for ward to our nex t trip with Viking. – MR . & MRS. BROWN FROM QUEANBEYAN, 2019

You may well wonder, as did Charles de Gaulle, how you can govern a country with 246 varieties of cheese. The French know a thing or deux about celebrating joie de vivre, recruiting the expertise of the nation’s vintners and producers of champagne. You too may indulge your taste buds with fresh oysters and truffles, delectable croissants and decadent chocolate desserts. In Giverny, lose yourself in the exquisite gardens that inspired Claude Monet for so many years. Admire the dreamy lavender and sunflower fields of Provence. Explore the lush vineyards of the beautiful Burgundy wine region. And experience history first hand in Normandy, the site of the famous D-Day landings. As Audrey Hepburn noted, Paris is always a good idea. Known as the romance capital of the world, take a stroll down the famed Champs-Élysées and marvel at this dazzling city’s iconic landmarks, from the Eiffel Tower to the Louvre.

The soul of the samovar is singing a tune of warmhearted hospitality. From historic Moscow to canallaced St. Petersburg, Russia is full of riddles and surprises to Western thinking, according to novelist and historian Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. The people of the largest country in the world are passionate, creating swirlyspired onion domes of gold and striking colours, and making lithe, white swans dance across a Tchaikovskyinfused lake. Visits to the Hermitage Museum, St. Basil’s Cathedral and the Kremlin will give you a taste. Ukraine’s ancient and splendid trade route, the Dnieper River, is lined with rich cultural treasures, spectacular churches and rural folkways that recall the days of the Vikings, Tsars and Cossacks. See Kiev’s Cave Monasteries, marvel at the riding skills of Cossack horsemen, and trace the footsteps of history at Odessa’s Potemkin Steps.

This cruise was ever y thing I had anticipated and more. The tour guides are not scripted robots, they are highly educated, enthusiastic, passionate and patriotic Russians. They are ver y knowledgeable on the subjects and a joy to listen to and learn from. When you travel with Viking, you are traveling with the first class in cruising companies. They are clearly the leader in the industr y and af ter this trip, I can see why. I look for ward to the next trip I plan to book. – HELEN

Romans and Moors, Berbers, Vandals and Visigoths — through the times, many cultures have conquered their share of the rich Iberian Peninsula. Like rings on a tree, each one has left their indelible mark, leaving behind iconic architecture, historic sites and unique traditions, art and music. In the beautiful capital city of Lisbon, intricately patterned azulejo tiles adorn homes, churches, palaces, restaurants and railway stations, keeping them cool under the summer sun. Explore the maze of winding cobblestone alleyways in search of the haunting lament of the fado guitar. Sail along the Douro and witness dramatic rock formations, picturesque terraced vineyards and charming bridges and trestles. Visit the town of Pinhão in the heart of the breathtaking Douro Valley and discover its famous winemaking region — a UNESCO World Heritage site. Sample the local varieties of port alongside a plate of salted cod and freshly grilled sardines.

GUEST REVIEWS A truly “golden” adventure. My sister and I took our first Viking cruise on the Passage to Eastern Europe and had been impressed with Viking’s ser vice. For years, I’d wanted to explore the Douro River of Por tugal, being interested in “roads”—or in this case, rivers—less traveled. This trip exceeded my expectations and proved without any doubt that Viking’s at tention to ser vice and to hiring a real “team” of happy crew members pays of f for ever yone on board. Not only were the excursions—both included and optional—excellent, as was the cuisine, but the camaraderie among the staf f was obvious. What a memorable trip! Hopefully, ever y other passenger on this trip in the future will experience the beauty and histor y that the Douro River af fords as well as Viking’s delight ful and personal ser vice.

Our second Viking cruise, as we had done Bordeaux first. The entire trip, from our pre-ex tension in Madrid, flight to Lisbon for two nights then on to Por to to board the ship for seven beautiful nights was magnificent. The beauty of the architecture, the sweeping vistas along the Douro River and the Por tuguese people were all outstanding. The staf f each caring, incredibly knowledgeable and lots of fun too! Our favorite cruise. Hope to return soon. – JIM & RENEE

EGYPT 2022-2023 VOYAGES

38


Imagine the wisdom and skill of the Egyptians of ten thousand years ago and more. Hieroglyphics send us a 5,000-year-old postcard. The pyramids and the Great Sphinx, a wealth of statues, sculptures, obelisks and murals are there still, mystifying modern-day earthlings with their unique magnificence. For the past century or so, archeological interest in ancient Egypt has run high, especially following the 1922 discovery of the tomb of King Tutankhamun in Luxor’s Valley of the Kings. Visit Khan el-Khalili, Cairo’s most famous outdoor souk, tour the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities and admire its incredible collection of artefacts, and enjoy a scenic voyage on a felucca, a traditional Egyptian wooden sailboat. A cruise along the lifegiving Nile River is like travelling through time while uncovering the secrets of one of the world’s most advanced cultures.

GUEST REVIEWS We went on the Magnificent Mekong river cruise and we also added the extension to Ha Long Bay which was so wor th doing as it is nature at its best. All the hotels we stayed in were exceptional and luxurious and the food ver y good. The ship was lovely too and all the staf f were so welcoming and attentive, and a big thank you to the chef as the food on the ship was exceptional and so tasty. The local guides during the holiday were also ver y nice and informative. I would like to say a big thank you to the crew for making our holiday such a wonder ful one full of special memories. – BRENDA & PAUL ANDREW OF LOUGHTON

This was our third trip with Viking. I expected the best and we received just that! Our hotel accommodations were first class, the restaurants were top notch and the food on our ship was outstanding. I especially loved the little villages --the people were engaging, especially the beautiful children… Hanoi and Saigon were bustling cities. Clean and modern. All the local guides were excellent. Ever y thing was well planned and executed per fectly. Viking turns a vacation into an amazing experience. So wor th it! – TRISH KIRKEIDE
