We travel to Bordeaux to preview Viking’s new Chateaux, Rivers and Wine itinerary
Aaron Saunders, Live Voyage Reports
One thing I’ve always said about Viking River Cruises is that they always put on a good show – and they always know how to impress.
Today, we bade farewell to a blustery Avignon and Viking Heimdal and made our way to Bordeaux on France’s Atlantic coast. But we didn’t drive there, or take a high-speed rail link. No. We flew in style on a private jet.
Arriving at Avignon Regional Airport at 9am, we were whisked through security and issued with a perfunctory boarding pass before walking across the tarmac to a gleaming-white BAE 146-200, a small, quad turbofan-engine jet equipped in an all-business class configuration.
