Jan. 30 at Sea

Today, we crossed the International Date Line on our way to New Zealand. We skipped January 29th altogether! The U.S. Navy presents sailors with the Domain of the Golden Dragon award when sailing west across the date line, thus entering the dragon’s empire where Asian nations celebrate the power of the dragon. To mark the occasion, Viking put on a fantastic brunch around the pool deck with a celebratory toast and symbolic, collective hop over the date line as we entered into the “Domain of the Golden Dragon”. The beautiful and delicious food options were endless and the musical entertainment very enjoyable. Once again, Vikings fantastical Executive Chef Willie and his Culinary Team outdid themselves! As our Cruise Director said, the Chefs are "Artists in their own right!"

Video's may be a bit bouncy. We had pretty rough seas today. I love being rocked to sleep!Read more
