Day 04 A Toast to Home on the River

This photo deserves its own post.

We boarded the Viking Rinda around noontime, just in time for lunch — our first meal onboard and our first real taste of ship life. The waiter offered us the house red or white, but we asked if they had a Pinot Grigio. He paused politely to confirm we had the Silver Spirits package (we do — and yes, it’s worth every penny).

A few minutes later, he returned to our table holding a bottle of Tommasi Pinot Grigio. Donna and I looked at each other and just laughed. That smile said it all — we were home.

On our World Cruise, Donna discovered Tommasi and fell in love with it. Since then, it’s become our go-to white wine — we even have it shipped to our home by the case.

So, when that familiar bottle appeared before us on our very first afternoon aboard the Rinda, it felt like a sign — a gentle reminder that Viking always takes good care of us.

We’re on our floating home once again.

I did add photos of the port outside our balcony, a selfie in our room, and the Viking Daily - this is the Bible for the events of the day.
