Hi everyone. I'm afraid that due to unforseen circumstances (nothing at all to worry about), we can't do the live tonight. We have postponed it to NEXT SUNDAY 17th NOVEMBER at the usual time. Prize draw winner, Egypt, other stuff - can't wait to tell you all about it! Sorry about that.

NEW VIDEO!

We’d like to declare THIS cruise line as having ‘The Finest Ships in the World for Gastronomy’!

Our brand new dining guide will show you WHY we think Regent Seven Seas is simply the BEST for dining at any level, from the ‘buffet’ to room service to speciality dining, we show you everything Regent Seven Seas has to offer, and why we think they are the best in the world overall.

Yes, it’s a bold claim, and many of you may or may not agree, but watch this before making your minds up. Some of the food and dining venues here are utterly divine.

Bon appetite! (Link to video in the comments - FB hates direct links from posts lol)

Wow, what a 24 hours!

As the sun set over the Valley of the Kings, the two new Nile Viking ships, Viking Sobek and Viking Hathor were named by the banks of Luxor.

After a successful naming ceremony all guests were taken to the nearby magnificent Karnak Temple for a celebration dinner among the impressive columns and statues of the entry courtyard. It really was a money can’t buy experience and one we’ll never forget. The evening finished with a fabulous performance by the talented Norwegian soprano, Sissel.

With just a few hours to catch some sleep our alarms were set for 3.30am for another highlight of the trip (there seems to be one every day on this trip), a hot air balloon ride over the Valley of the Kings. Rich had opted out of this excursion (it was a step too far for him) so I (Helen) was on my own for this trip. Though I was trepidatious I can honestly say it was one of the most memorable things I’ve ever done. Watching the sun rise over the Nile with the Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut’s temple on the other side it was an astounding view and a surreal experience. Next time, I’m making Rich come with me!

We finished off the morning with a visit to the Valley of the Kings to see the tomb of Tutankhamen, a very special thing to experience with the Carnarvon family. Their ancestor, the 5th Earl of Carnarvon, spent 16 years working with Howard Carter, who almost 102 years ago to the day, discovered the entrance to the tomb!

As we enjoyed lunch the Viking Sobek set sail from Luxor. What a day. Thank you for bridging us along on this unique and magnificent journey!

ad• WOW, what a whirlwind couple of days it’s been! Early on Sunday morning we joined a very lucky small group people at Heathrow airport who had been invited by Viking Cruise on a very special journey to Cairo. Staying two nights at the luxurious The Nile Ritz Carlton, Monday was an action packed day of sightseeing, covering all of the main sites in Cairo, including the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum. After a full day of site-seeing we spent the evening in the Islamic quarter of the city, with a uniquely authentic night time visit to a local souk.

After an exhausting but fabulous day in Cairo we were up early this morning to travel to Luxor to join the Viking Sobek for a three night journey on the river Nile.

Having settled in nicely it’s now time to get ready for the highlight of the trip in a few hours time, the naming ceremony of the Viking Sobek and the Viking Hathor, Viking’s two newest ships, joining their other ships already sailing the Nile river.

We can’t wait to bring you along to the naming ceremony and our next few days on board. So please make sure to keep an eye on our socials and let us know if there’s anything you want to know about Viking cruises, Egypt, the Nile river or the naming ceremony itself.

Ad - Welcome to our first release in three weeks! Oh my! Sorry about that, we were VERY busy recording the Great Lakes, Canada and New England for all you lovely friends and this is our first video from that extended trip.

Welcome to the most beautifully designed, meticulously engineered, unbelievably well equipped ships we’ve ever had the pleasure to sail on.

We spent a week on Viking Polaris and here’s what we learned about her. Are these two sisters Vikings (not so) secret weapons against the 80-odd other expedition ships in the world today? We think so. Enjoy!
