As if the notion of sailing the shimmering waters of Scandinavia and the Baltic on a 15-day cruise would not have enough allure, how about a cruise line that takes you there for free?  Viking Cruises is back with free international air on their popular Viking Homelands river cruise itinerary.

Viking Homelands is a 15-day cruise visit that visits eight countries & eleven ports from the cruise line where everyone has a veranda.  Also included, Viking’s Culture Curriculum that immerses travelers in destinations through lectures on or performances of music, art, cooking, dance and history.

 

Enjoy overnights in cosmopolitan Stockholm and St. Petersburg, and explore charming historic city centers in Tallinn and Gdańsk. You’ll visit Helsinki, Berlin, Copenhagen and Bergen, and witness breathtaking scenery from your ship as she glides through magnificent Norwegian fjords in the legendary homeland of the Vikings.

 

For many travelers, this will be a once-in-a-lifetime quality event not to be repeated.  That singular fact helped considerably when Sydney and I visited Russia on an Azamara Club Cruise.   Viking River Cruises is all over the planning aspect of travel with a rich library of information available from the moment travelers make their booking. Here is more about the Viking River Cruises 20th anniversary and their 13 day Waterways of the Tsars river cruise itinerary that Lisa and I will be sailing next June.
