Memphis, USA.
As we continue our journey of exploration this year, we
invite you to "discover more" with Viking, venturing to
lesser-known destinations and uncovering hidden gems.
In this edition, we focus on just that—exploring those
destinations that are beyond the ordinary. Whether
you seek untamed landscapes, historical marvels or
vibrant cultures, we have got you covered. To read
our shortlist of the most unique experiences to add
to your travel list, see page 11.
In March, I finally made it to the Mississippi, and it
completely exceeded expectations. From the rhythm
and soul of Memphis to the rich layers of history and
culture woven into every stop, it was one of those
trips that stays with you. I also did the Viking
extension to Nashville—because when you're that
close to country music heaven, how could you not?
We have shared some of my favourite experiences in
this issue—including a spotlight on New Orleans,
where music, food and history collide in the most
unforgettable way.
Back home in Australia, I've found myself thinking
about where to go next. Perhaps, like me, you are
contemplating your next adventure, too.
Whether it is following the rugged contours of
China's southeastern coast, comprehending the raw
majesty of Iceland or navigating the wild charm of
the Great Lakes, we hope this edition helps you chart
your next course.
For a taste of what these regions have to offer, we
have included recipes inspired by the flavours of
China and Canada, perfect for trying something new
in your own kitchen. After all, food is one of the most
memorable parts of any journey and recreating it at
home can bring the spirit of travel to your table.
Wherever your travels take you, Viking remains
committed to helping you see the world differently.
May your next journey be filled with discovery.
Warmest regards,
Michelle Black
