WELCOME Welcome to our Explore More magazine Dear Traveler, Inside this issue of Explore More, we once again hope to inspire and entertain you with an abundance of articles containing a wealth of interesting features, traveler insights and useful city guides so you can get the most out of your travels. In this edition, join us as we venture to some exciting new destinations in South America and introduce our combined river and ocean cruises—perfect for those who wish to experience the best of both worlds. On our 15-day Viking Homelands cruise, we uncover some Baltic stars, from the beautifully preserved Old Town in Tallinn to the fairy-tale fusion of Renaissance and Gothic architecture in Gdask. Taking you farther afield, we discover Australia and New Zealand’s unmissable sights and explore the rich cultures and vibrant cities of the Far East. Read about the best ways to visit or extend your stay in some fascinating destinations—including Tromsø, Stockholm, Santorini, Venice, San Juan, Lisbon, Cairo and St. Petersburg. I also reveal some of my favorite recipes for delicious regional dishes served on board our ocean and river ships, including Scandinavian and Portuguese specialties. As always, 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 are sharing your photos with fellow Instagram, Facebook and Twitter friends, please remember to add #MyVikingStory. For inspiration, you can find some contributions from our guests on their travels in this issue. 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 home through our Destination Insights videos I host on exploringmore.com or viking.com/videos. Bon Voyage, or as we say in Norway, God Tur! Karine Hagen Sr. Vice President Karine in her Dale of Norway sweater; there is a selection available in our onboard shop EXPLORE MORE 2019 | VIKING.COM 3
