The Viking River Cruise brochure arrived in the mail, and this time, instead of snorting at the idea and throwing it away immediately, I opened it, just to see how much the prices had been discounted. Not that I would think of going, just to comfort myself that there might be a viral silver lining.
Evidently the prices are not discounted at all. I suppose that’s because they are restarting after being stalled since March, and they need to fill the coffers. Plus, anyone who thinks the pandemic has ended, and goes on a cruise, Given that the pandemic started on a cruise, that person is probably deluded enough to pay full Viking River Cruise prices.
The prices are still insane. This from the woman who paid $25 for a raw eight ounce steak.

I’ve just watched a video by company chairman/founder Tor Hagen saying that they won’t be resuming cruises till next year, when he’s hopeful things will be under control. I’m not in a rush to board a cruise ship again but if I did, I would like it to be with Viking. I was meant to be going with them to Japan next month…
Big Dot – I just thought, “There’s a river that goes to Japan?” So do they do ocean cruises around Japan or are there river cruises inside of Japan?
