everybody it's Bruce here with traveling with Bruce
today's show is concentrating here on the biking ocean cruise line the folks
at Travel and Leisure magazine the US largest magazine have just released
their results or cruise line of the year and yet again Viking cruise line is the
winner fourth year in a row the line is only four years old this ocean cruise
line has been born from the Viking River cruise line they're the folks who have
those ships up and down the Danube and other rivers in Europe including some in
China they brought out their first ocean liner in 2015 they now have five on the
seas and the fifth ship the Viking Orion was just launched a couple of months ago
number six the Viking Jupiter is coming out February 2019 and every year that
Viking ocean cruises has been offering cruises they have been voted number one
cruise line by answer by the readers of Travel and Leisure now why is that what
do the folks consider for making this designation they look at cabins and the
facilities onboard they want to know about the quality they want to know
about the quality of the food on board they want to know about service they are
ranking the itineraries and the destinations offered by the cruise line
excursions and activities either on shore or on our on board and value for
the money and in all of these different two categories Viking keeps coming out
as number one to give an idea of some of the value that's being offered here if
you're onboard this ship as a passenger even on the base balcony there are no
inside rooms all rooms are outside staterooms with balcony complimentary
shore excursion is available on all cruises its standard fare all onboard
meals are included including all specialty restaurants as well
beer and wine is served at lunch and dinner and that's complimentary this my
extra charge for that all port charges and government taxes and fees built into
the cruise specialty restaurants as I say are included Wi-Fi is included
self-serve laundry is included and access to the spa live Nordy spa area is
complimentary for all passengers we're talking 930 passengers 465 crew that
means one crew member for every two passengers unbelievable unbeatable
service by the way 24 hour room service is also included in the fare so when you
add it up other cruise lines have all these extra add-on charges that add
upwards of $200 a day per passenger to the fare that makes this cruise line
rather affordable no children under 18 are allowed however it's an add-on only
cruise average age I would say 65 the folks love it that way it's quiet its
roomy and it's luxurious fantastic line something to look into travel and
leisure you know what they're talking about the largest magazine travel
magazine in the United States it's the fourth year in a row Viking cruises
ocean cruises has been ranked number one accrues line in the world this is Bruce
