As we crossed the International Date Line, Viking hosted the crossing with a brunch and live music on the pool deck for all passengers to enjoy. Fun afternoon.

The International Date Line (IDL) is an internationally accepted demarcation of the surface of Earth, running between the South and North Poles and serving as the boundary between one calendar day and the next.
