Viking

This "Viking" (hard to see without zooming in) parked just in front of our apartment in Cihangir, Istanbul the day we moved in.

I was on that boat on April 11th,2015.

It was the Maiden Voyage of the Viking Star from Istanbul to Stockholm. We were on for the 50 day cruise. It is quite nice. It is built for 930 passengers.

This is awesome. I took this photo in April 2015 from our apartment in Cihangir.

We've had a few cruise ships dock here in the last few months.  The Disney one was here yesterday and one other one but I don't recall the name of it.  Cruise ships stop here often we're a major port apparently.

I have never visited one of these ships. I imagine they are like giant hotels inside.

I've never been on one either.  Yes I imagine they are like giant floating hotels.  It's on my bucket list though to take a cruise somewhere some day.
