That is not even mentioning meals at the 8 restaurants and the availability of TV, movies, TED Talks which are available 24 hours a day!  I do not think we will be bored.

Most of the 928 passengers are going from Miami to London, but about 350 will get off in L.A. and a different 350 will board.  That is the last "passenger exchange"of the trip.

We have met several crew members who we know from past Viking Ocean Cruises.  It is like old home week.

More from Cuba...

  1. Wow! I take it this are all options and you don't have to try to do all of them! What is the Royal Nordic Hair Ritual? Sounds intriguing! Save up your notes from what you learn about the places your visit and consider writing these up when you are on long days at sea! I know I'd love to learn more!
