I invited friends and colleagues Lina and David Stock of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.divergenttravelers.com\/\">Divergent Travelers<\/a> to speak with me about cruising in Part One. In this episode, we will discuss my experiences sailing with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vikingrivercruises.com\/video\/all\/paris-and-the-heart-of-normandy\/play.html\">Viking Cruises<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In Part Three of the series, you are going to meet my friends, Ann and Steve Teget,\u00a0 of <a href=\"https:\/\/postcardjar.com\">Postcard Jar<\/a>. They are travel writers and global travelers who have taken over 20 cruises. They are experts in the field and share a lot of super valuable information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This was my husband Craig&#8217;s first cruise ever, and he thoroughly enjoyed it! He told me that one of his favorite aspects of the cruise, besides the delicious food, the impeccable service, the history, the crew, and the itinerary, was the other guests! He made a lot of friends and had a blast meeting new people from around the world. It is fun for me to hear him talk about it and share it with other people.<\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Highlights of this episode:<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Juicy details of our adventure through Northern France on the cruise <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vikingrivercruises.com\/video\/all\/paris-and-the-heart-of-normandy\/play.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Paris and The Heart of Normandy<\/span><\/em><\/a><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What&#8217;s it feel like to cruise on a Viking Cruise?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Unexpected Delights of a Viking Cruise<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How to choose your next Viking Cruise<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Surprising benefits of cruising<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This episode offers all of the incredible details of this cruise and will also help you decide which Viking Cruise to take next.
