Day 15: Meet Aoibhin O’Neill

Meet our Cruise Director, Aoibhin O’Neill (Pronounced ‘A-veene’). Aoibhin hails from Ireland is a professionally trained vocalist & stage performer. She has been working with Viking since pre-covid. She is also the Ship’s Captain’s back-up energy source if the ship ever runs out of fuel — The Captain has a specially designed interface to convert this woman’s’ never ending energy into a fuel supply to power our ship for days, and she does it on 4” heels.

As Cruise Director she is basically in charge of all the activities & entertainment onboard our ship, the level of which continues to be superb. Each and every entertainer on-board brings a professionalism and quality of entertainment which competes with and surpasses Las Vegas shows, while able to express their own unique style and personality as they perform. We are fortunate to have this level of showmanship/showwomanship during our five month adventure.

Last night Aoibhin was given center stage at the Viking Neptune Star Theater where she shared her life with us through story and song. (Please look through the pictures, I felt lucky to capture this story digitally.) We learned of her love for the stage, her family, and the cat was let out of the bag - Her at work romance, which you can feel her love for this special person as she sang. Oh! She also resolved a little staff concern which was bring tension on stage - Nikko [sic] finally got the kiss he has been after - Nikko’s jealously runs deep, since the guitar & bass players seem to get all the romantic attention on stage.

It was a wonderful performance, I am sure we will see her again on stage. Thank you Aoibhin for taking such good care of us all.
