Welcome to our Explore More magazine Dear Traveler, Inside this issue of Explore More, we once again hope to inspire you with traveler insights, useful city guides and features from around the world, so you can get the most out of your travels. To celebrate the launch of Viking Expeditions, we delve into the design details that make our new expedition vessels such an exciting proposition, and take a closer look at the exclusive scientific partnerships that we have cultivated with leading institutions from around the world. I can confidently say from firsthand experience that our recently launched Arctic and Antarctic itineraries are sure to leave you in awe of our natural world. In this issue, we also journey to Russia and explore the history of this fascinating country, as well as its food and culture; and we round up some Russia-related reading material—books recommended by the experts from London bookstore Heywood Hill. Learn about how we can help extend your Viking journey in some fascinating cities, including Vienna, Tromsø, Cologne, Moscow, London and New Orleans. Not far from London, we also catch up with my great friend, the Countess of Carnarvon, and hear the latest news from her home, Highclere Castle. We hope to explore more of the world together with you, whether you choose to sail by river or ocean, and we aim to champion that spirit of exploration through our new online experience channel, Viking.TV. Bon Voyage, or as we say in Norway, God Tur! Karine Hagen Executive Vice President, Viking Karine near the island of Spitsbergen, Svalbard archipelago, Norway EXPLORE MORE VIKING.COM 3
