Viking river cruises came to fame offering small, luxurious ships sailing on the world’s most wondrous waterways to explore Old World cities in Europe, Asia, and Egypt. Now, Viking has introduced its latest itineraries taking you through the Great Lakes and Canada on brand new Expedition-class ships with just 930 passengers.
The cruise destination list followed with an enjoyable day sailing through the Chilean Fjords to Amalia Glacier and then on to Puerto Montt and extensive tours of the city of Valparaiso and the capital city of Santiago.
Cruising from England to Norway, the Shetland Islands, Iceland and Newfoundland then to New York, I’d envisioned Iceland as a frozen wasteland of glacial cold and ice. But just under the surface, it turns out, the entire island bubbles with hot lava.
