Gdańsk, Poland. Visit this picturesque city on the Baltic for its history, charm, and amber. I’ve got a lovely pair of amber earrings bought here. A real treasure of a souvenir. #gdansk #poland #myvikingstory

Back in Rouen, France ... at least in my mind. Looking down upon the colorful umbrellas over Rue Massacre at Place Dominique Laboubée. Notice the portrait of the late French rock singer, Dominique Laboubée, by street artist, Jef Aérosol, on a building on the left. #Rouen #france

Paris daydreams ... I often have them. Et vous? Getting ready to plan next trip to France 🇫🇷 so can’t help looking back on a previous trip. I like this photo that captures Musée d'Orsay, Eiffel Tower, and the Seine at sunset. #paris #france .

Perhaps you recognize this location from the lates

Perhaps you recognize this location from the latest James Bond movie, “No Time To Die”? It’s Matera, Italy. Once called “ The shame of Italy”, Matera has had a rebirth and was designated a European Capital of Culture in 2019. It is one of my recommended places to visit in 2020. Check out more travel inspiration for 2020 and beyond in our article on @travelingwithsweeney #matera #italy🇮🇹 .

And a good time was had by all! Reminiscing about holiday fun in Vienna, Austria on our @vikingcruises Romantic Danube #cruise. An optional Viking excursion in Vienna, the “Heurigen Evening” provided a high-spirited authentic Viennese gemütlichkeit experience. A shuttle from the ship took our small group of five couples and our guides to the city’s 19th district where numerous vineyards are located with their wine taverns called Heurigen. The Heuriger became part of Austrian culture in the 18th century when Emperor Joseph II proclaimed that anyone who made their own wine could sell it to the public in their establishments. #myvikingstory .

Same time, last year... Lunch at a Chicago landmark — The Berghoff restaurant, a historic family-owned German restaurant on Adams Street in the Loop. Although renovated in recent years, it still serves hearty and authentic German comfort food in brauhaus ambiance. Great for holiday spirit on a brisk December day. #chicago #illinois #usa .

The latest on the blog is about the sights and activities during our @vikingcruises shore excursions in St. Petersburg, Russia. The gorgeous domes are part of the Church of Our Saviour on Spilled Blood. The church was constructed between 1883 and 1907 and got its name because it was built upon the site where Tsar Alexander II was assassinated. #myvikingstory #stpetersburgrussia #russia .

When we visited St. Petersburg, Russia in late September, the leaves were just starting to turn, making for a beautiful stroll through Mikhailovsky Garden. The park can be entered behind the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood which we were touring on our shore excursion with @vikingcruises #myvikingstory #saintpetersburgrussia #russia

Riding on a long and quite steep (more so than the photo shows) in a Metro station in St. Petersburg, Russia. The “St. Petersburg by Metro and on Foot” shore excursion during the Viking Homelands cruise was one of my favorite trip experiences. It was like being part of daily life in Russia. Keep following the @travelingwithsweeney blog for more about our cruise on the Baltic. #myvikingstory #stpetersburgrussia #saintpetersburgrussia #vikingcruises #metrostation #travelrussia #travelblogger #instarussia #balticcruise #escalator #dailylifeinrussia #visitpetersburg

The art of the cruise. From the first steps onto the Viking Jupiter, passengers can see that elements of art are clearly integral to the interior ambiance of the ship. Art is central to the elegant Scandinavian design and decor of the Jupiter (and its sister ships) with paintings, photographs, sculptures, ceramics, and other pieces placed thoughtfully throughout the ship, creating comfortable and appealing spaces for guests.
