What’s in a Name

On our last few cruises with Viking, we have noticed an uptick in the number of crew members from Africa. I love the names of our African crew members. The Christian faith in Africa is very strong and rooted in the Bible. Their faith is reflected in the names they give their children. On this cruise and our previous cruise, we have met Solomon, Blessing, Charity, Godswill, Bloodshow, Faith, Faithful, Providence, Salvation, Resurrection, Patience, Job, Jacob, Joyful, Peace, Spiritus, Trinity, Grateful, and Pentecost. Everyone of the crew members that we have met has been a perfect example of the faith they profess. May God continue to bless each and every crew member with Viking. While the ship is lovely, the amenities fabulous and the food delicious, it is the crew members that always bring us back to Viking. They are the best in every way and they are the heart and soul of Viking cruises. Read more
