A Viking River Cruise will make you happy - Welcome to the Ship

Hello, I'm good. How are you?

We're good, we're good. Are you just arriving?

Yes, we are.

Everyone is just smiling.

Join us. We're actually just getting ready to get off, but I have to tell you, I'm so envious of you because this is just amazing. And the crew that you have right now is—

I'm— oh, so this is a changeover. We just—

I think we just— everybody just departed, and they— you would never know that they are— they've taken us off. And well, actually, obviously we're not off. Yeah, you're saying they're like, stay as long as you want. We just had to depart the room by 9 this morning.

Okay, but you still have facilities.

They were having lunch on board and they said even stay for dinner. And wow, you all say, oh, we're like, welcome, we're great family, you'll be part of the family. It's just amazing. This crew is— I can't say enough.

Beautiful. We've never done this.

We had never done it either.

So you're still smiling.

So I feel— you will be because you'll just be— you'll just be— uh, this is— this crew is just amazing. They, they treat you as if you're, you're This is so wonderful.

So you videoed it?

You can post it. I, because I cannot say enough nice things about Viking and their, their, the way that they handle everything.

So you've never done a Viking at all?

We have never done any cruise.

Neither have we.

We'll never do a different cruise. Their philosophy is to keep it small and to, you know, really give you every, everybody that you'll meet, you're, you're The person that takes care of your room, I don't know what you call them. They will just— yes, they will be— they will— they're so attentive. So they think— even we never asked for anything because they just, you know, saw what we needed and anticipated it ahead of time. And just amazing.

Just the room alone, I don't know.

Oh my goodness, fresh flowers, fresh strawberries. So congratulations.

Your name? Thank you.

look, just soaking it all in.

Thank you.

I just like to hear this happen. Yeah. I don't want to leave. I know.

But no, I'm missing my family.

Yeah.

So I'm ready to— I'm ready. But you will just love everything. We could not have orchestrated the way that they have, as efficient. And what we packed in in a short period of time is just phenomenal. The guides that you're being introduced to are just precious and willing to share their, you know, very intimate details of their lives, whatever, you know.

Thank you.

Congratulations.

We are on the Danube River in Budapest, and we're on board the Viking longship Wilhelm. You come back around.

Yes, that's right.

I, I— one of the things that I love to give myself when I exercise—

good for you. And I'm excited for you.

Thank you, thank you so much.

You're getting to see the ship when it's not crowded and no one's here, but I will make sure to come back and see how it is when all the passengers have arrived. Right now we're in between disembarking and embarking. It's a beautiful day in Budapest. It's getting a little warm, but there's a wonderful breeze on the river, on the Danube River. And no, it's not blue, it's not the Blue Danube, but we're going to take it because it's beautiful. So we're going to sit here and relax and take it all in for a little bit.
