The adventure begins...

Headed to the airport in a few hours. After two and a half years of planning this thing, we can't believe this day is here.
Made it to the airport.

Looks like you have taken a deep breath and the tension is off and so are the both of you on this great adventure. - Sheryl [Sheryl J]
Amsterdam for a few hours...

The KLM lounge has self-serve Heineken on tap. It's 10 AM but it had to be done!
Porto!

Enjoying dinner and drinks on our balcony in Porto.
旅行者It was wonderful in Porto. Really enjoyed our tour and lunch at Fontera. How are you doing? Any diagnosis yet? I'm thinking of you and hope all is well.

Beautiful day, but no giant waves.
Sintra
2023年12月9日, ポルトガル ⋅ ☁️ 61 °F
Sintra is where the ultra wealthy would escape to during the hot Lisbon summers. It's filled with palaces, castles and chateaus from the 19th century and before. It's truly magical.
Sintra by day
2023年12月10日, ポルトガル ⋅ ☁️ 63 °F
I'm at a loss for how to describe Sintra. "Magical kingdom from a fairytale" I suppose. It has to be experienced to be understood.
Off to Lisbon tomorrow and then on to the boat Tuesday!
Sintra to Lisbon

Good bye to the Chateau Saudade, Sintra and hello Lisbon. We embark the Viking Neptune tomorrow and sail to the Azores.

Our first, of many, drinks in the explorers lounge. The ship is simply amazing, just one year old. I want to see it all today, but I have to remember we'll be living here for the next five months.
Lots of blue water

The first of many sea days. I thought I might really get tired of sea days but this is pretty nice. I'm already very impressed with Viking. We went to a daily journal writing discussion this morning,もっと詳しく
Snow Grotto!
2023年12月13日, North Atlantic Ocean ⋅ 🌬 61 °F
Yep, the spa has a snow grotto in addition to a thermal pool, hot tub, steam room, two saunas with plunge pools, and a device that dumps a bucket of cold water on your head when you pull a chain. Iもっと詳しく
A day in the Azores
2023年12月15日, ポルトガル ⋅ 🌬 64 °F
Spent the day visiting the largest of the Azores. Visited a small village in the bottom of a caldera, saw some amazing scenery, and wandered the streets of Punta Delgada. Now for another four sea daysもっと詳しく

Sea Daze

Plenty to do on sea days. Lots of "enrichment activities," one of the reasons we chose Viking. The photo shows a talk on the Bayeux Tapestry given by the resident historian. The tapestry is reproducedもっと詳しく
The most glamorous place on the ship
2023年12月18日, アメリカ ⋅ ⛅ 45 °F
One of the many nice things about Viking, self-serve laundry facilities (including detergent) on every deck.
Bermuda Canceled
2023年12月19日, North Atlantic Ocean ⋅ 🌬 72 °F
We were informed yesterday afternoon that it is not possible to port at Bermuda due to gale force winds and high seas. We have turned south for smoother water and headed for Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Aもっと詳しく
Medical Emergency Stopping Nassau
2023年12月21日, North Atlantic Ocean ⋅ 🌬 68 °F
A passenger requires medical assistance so we are diverting to Nassau, Bahamas and arrive 11 am and depart 3 pm. Very sorry for our fellow traveler but glad Viking can make this happen and we get toもっと詳しく
Docking in Nassau
2023年12月22日, バハマ ⋅ 🌬 72 °F
The big white Norwegian Cruise ship in the photo has over 4200 passengers and nearly twice as many crew as we have passengers.
旅行者But they do have a water slide, roller coaster, and probably 2000 screaming children.
So sorry you have to miss all the amenities that those 4200 people get to experience, especially the screaming children!!! [Barbara Ladd]
Little Havana, Florida

Fun exploring the little shops and some time off the ship. Dominoes Park was busy with avid players.

We passed about 20 miles to the north of the island, around the western tip on our way to Cozumel.
Merry Christmas🎄, Cozumel, Mexico

Getting hot and humid already! We better get used to it or move into the snow grotto full time.
旅行者Merry Christmas Terry and Ann 🎄🎁🎅🤶 You are obviously having a great time. One of our favorite memories at Cozumel was eating at The Lobster Shack and walking on the beachfront, the week before Christmas in 2018. Fun to experience the Christmas spirit in a warm climate like Cozumel. Enjoy!
Sea Day #2 on way to Cartagena, Colombia

Getting used to grilled salmon salad for lunch. Hitting the gym, sauna, and spa pool almost daily too to combat the great food abundance😳. Nice walking ring on board too. Looking forward to a dayもっと詳しく
旅行者That grilled salmon doesn't look like what I got when I was at sea. Maybe I needed to go all the way around the world. Looks like a fantastic trip so far; keep the pictures coming. Enjoy!
旅行者Well, the camera angle also makes it look like I ate half a fish! Viking does emphasize food and drink, but I already needed to lose weight so I'm on it now for sure!
旅行者Can you get good coffee beans in Sumatra? They grow some great coffee there.
