WELCOME Welcome to our Explore More magazine Dear Traveler, In all editions of Explore More, we hope to inspire and entertain you with interesting features, traveler insights and useful city guides. In this edition, join us on a cruise along the scenic Rhine River and discover what makes one of Europe’s most important waterways one of its most popular. Come face to face with ancient history and a class full of smiling schoolchildren eager to learn in the enchanting village of Sophy, Cambodia. Explore Moscow’s underground mosaics in its metro and St. Petersburg’s palaces and museum treasures, and read about the best ways to visit or extend your stay in some truly fascinating destinations—including Avignon, Bergen, Helsinki, San Juan, Shanghai and St. Petersburg. We take a closer look at the authentic Nordic spa experience you can enjoy on our ocean ships, and journey into the heart of Scandinavia and the Baltic for a memorable voyage on our iconic 15-day Viking Homelands. I also share some of my favorite recipes from our first recipe book inspired by dishes served on board our ocean and river ships around the world, The Kitchen Table. We hope to explore more of the world together with you, whether you choose to sail by river or ocean, or simply enjoy some virtual exploration from the comfort of your own home through our cultural insight videos I host on exploringmore.com. Bon Voyage, or as we say in Norway, God Tur! Karine Hagen Sr. Vice President Viking Cruises P.S. As you enjoy your travels, we invite you to share your photos and the stories behind them on MyVikingStory.com. These might include special moments from your cruise such as your favorite destination, meal or thinking spot. Also, while you’re sharing your photos with fellow Instagram, Facebook and Twitter friends, please remember to add #MyVikingStory.
