A Royal Adventure Aboard the Icon of the Seas

The inaugural sailing of the Icon of the Seas was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we arrived at the bustling port of Miami, the anticipation of embarking on a grand adventure filled the air. Ship representatives were present immediately and available to assist with check-in, questions, and the large flow of passengers, making the process quick and stress-free. Stepping aboard the Icon, there was a shared feeling of complete awe. The ship's grandeur is undeniable, with its vibrant colors and architectural brilliance offering panoramic views that stretch four decks high.

A Rhine River Adventure with Viking Cruise Line

Get ready for a tale of river cruising, ship swaps, and the charm of European cities. Settle in as I recount my Viking Rhine River Cruise from November 15 – 24, 2023. My journey kicked off at South Bend Airport with Delta Airlines. I had two connections—one in Atlanta and another in Paris—before landing in my final destination of Basel, Switzerland, near the border of France. Upon arrival, I opted for a taxi to my hotel but soon discovered the airport had two taxi locations. One for drivers within France and the other for Switzerland, where I was headed.
