Happy Wednesday friends! Today I am so excited to share with y'all 9 Must Have Experiences aboard the Viking Delling! If you are taking a Rhone River Cruise (and you should!) definitely mark these down as things to do while on board the ship!

1. Eat in the Aquavit Terrace Once. 
The beauty surrounding you is incredible and it truly is a memorable experience that you don’t want to miss!

2. Attend Evening Port Talks with Nuno, the Program Director. 
While you have the option to view these in your room, the experience of joining with fellow passengers and connecting more is a truly special time. Nuno did an amazing job of providing information we would need about the port we would be at the following day, helpful tips for our excursions and also gave a cultural component related to where we were at and shared an art piece each night. His engaging personality drew everyone in and I highly recommend attending these!

3. Learn about the locks. 
On this cruise you will go through 13 different locks and to be honest, I didn’t know that much about them before this cruise. After learning about it I honestly have to say that I was impressed and it was fascinating to understand this part of River Cruising.

4. Get to Know Your Fellow Guests. 
The people with us on our cruise were fascinating, inspiring, and so interesting!

5. Attend the Taste of Provenance Dinner. 
This was a special night and truly the crew did an amazing job of putting on such a special evening dinner menu. I heard several people say they weren’t going to attend and I felt sad that they missed out on such an amazing event. Do not miss this!

6. Participate in the Evening Music/Events. 
Each night there were different things happening in the lounge and each was unique. One very fun night was the Music trivia night and Nuno did a great job of getting everyone involved- and there was just a lot of laughter and opportunity to get to know other guests!

7. Get to Know the Delling Crew. 
If you have been around Caravan Sonnet for the past 13 years then you are well aware that I have done multiple cruises. The Delling crew is unparalleled to anything I have seen. The leadership of Captain Francois and Hotel Manager Daniel is a combination that is unique and provides a truly exceptional experience for not only the crew but the guests. Simply put the crew is amazing and getting to know the incredible people will make your trip all that more special.

8. Visit the Wheelhouse. 
On the 5th day of the cruise Captain Francois and First Officer Francisco open up the wheelhouse for a couple of hours where guests can go and visit, ask questions, and learn more about the Delling and the Rhône River. This was truly an amazing experience and I can’t recommend this enough!

9. Visit the Sun Deck for an Evening Sunset. 
This was one of my favorite things that I did…. If it wasn’t dinner time where I felt rude leaving my mom and the guests at the table I probably would have sat up there for hours. Now I am not suggesting leaving… haha well I guess I am but it is worth it friends. Trust me. You will love it.

Those are just nine of so many things I could write about that are must have experiences on board the Delling! Let me know if you have any questions friends!
