In these troubled times surrounding the Corona 19 outbreak, I took solace in reviewing and processing the videos of an unforgettable Viking Ocean Cruise up the coast of Norway we experienced last August.

I stood on the balcony for hours watching the midnight sun and the arrival of dawn. It was one of my most inspiring travel experiences. May the joy of travel remain one of our most precious gifts in life.

If you enjoyed our video of this magical travel moment, we invite you to visit our photo gallery of this remarkable cruise, with stunning images of at each port-of-call along the way:
