Onboard the Viking Rinda

We were just welcomed aboard the Viking Rinda here on the west side of Paris. The shuttle will not be leaving for the Eiffel Tower until noon so we will not have time to go to the Museum Marmotan Monet. We will, however, be able to go into town or to take a walking tour of St. Germaine en-Lay, where our boat is docked. Claude Debussy was born here, Ravel’s family estate is not far away, and Claude Monet’s son died in a car crash on the bridge that spans the Seine near our Viking longship. There will also be wine and cheese in the Aquavit Lounge later today. Each of the Viking River Longboats is named for a Norse deity. Rinda is the goddess of winter, snow and ice.Read more
