Dining on the Viking Delling Longship
I have written about our amazing stay on the beautiful Viking Delling Longship before but I didn’t go into detail about all our fabulous dining experiences as I decided they quite rightly deserved their own post.

Pin ItThe Fabulous Viking Delling Longship
Even though we technically didn’t cruise very far on our still wonderful cruise with Viking River Cruises, we absolutely enjoyed every minute on the gorgeous Viking Delling Longship.

Pin ItExploring the French Medieval Village of Perouges

Shrimpin’ Aboard the Lady Jane

Pin ItCruising Southern France with Viking Cruises
Somehow, in the course of becoming a travel writer and traveling the world, I have become a person who casually announces that we are going to France. When I was a kid, our big vacations involved piling into a station wagon, the kids in the way back with no seat belts because seriously, who had … Continue reading
