Christmas time brings a special kind of magic to the world.
To me, Christmas embodies the spirit of togetherness, surrounded
by the warmth of family and friends and the delightful chaos of
grandchildren, with echoes of laughter and delicious food. It's a
season that encourages reflection on the year gone by and inspires
hope for the year ahead.
In the pages that follow in our Christmas issue of Viking Explorer
Society News, we dive into the holiday season, unwrapping the
stories behind traditions and sharing the joy that makes this time
of year so special.
Explore the fascinating history of gingerbread, a treat that has
stood the test of time, learn about how Christmas is celebrated in
other countries and savour the magic of an enchanting Christmas
cruise along the Seine.
This edition also features a collection of Christmas recipes shared
by many of our wonderful past Viking guests, many I am sure have
been passed down through generations.
As the year draws to a close, we extend our warmest wishes to you
and your loved ones. May your holiday season be full of cherished
memories, and we eagerly anticipate the opportunity to welcome you
back on board in the coming year, ready to create new stories
together.
Warmest regards,
