VIKING JUPITER – ocean ship tour

This is a ship tour of the Viking Jupiter. All the VIKING CRUISE ships are all the same on the outside. Same shape, same ‘Small Cruise Ship’ class, same capacity. Inside they show their individual colours with style and art. Then in their adventure, they follow different routes. It gives us so much more to explore, but with a familiar guaranteed style.

Considering Viking was not founded until 1997 it has swept into a dominant position with more than 250 awards to its name. It has done this with routes down rivers, across oceans and finding lakes around the world. They offer experiences for travellers with interests in science, history, culture and cuisine. Chairman Torstein Hagen often says Viking offers guests The Thinking Person’s Cruise® in contrast to mainstream cruises. They do seem to have got it right. Please contribute a post to our menus to show how the Viking ship you visited was so different. I can help with the edit. Direct message me, you can find me here or on the Facebook group.

These all-veranda ships all offer a wide variety of staterooms and entertainment and dining options so it is best you look at the video tour.

With our associated Doris Visits YouTube Cruise Port Guide Channel, presented by Jean, you will find the films we made as cruisers stopping at the world’s cruise ports. Films from fellow guests are listed here. On our YouTube channel, there are specialist playlists on shopping, botanical gardens and religious buildings at destinations. We follow cruise routes… yes, we take you there – virtually.

The main Doris Visits website has a menu for every cruise ship with filmed tours and cabin tours. The destination menu has over 1,000 world ports. We post more including insurance links, tips and PCR testing links.

For those who read on the ship – we have a menu of cozy cruise mysteries and cruise thrillers. The Cruise Ship Crime Investigators series is from us, from years of cruising and knowing the ship above and below decks. Income from the books goes back into the online platforms and widgets.

As Jean Heard and I (Stuart St Paul) sail the globe, her doing her one-woman show Royal Mistresses, and me talking about my books and movie career, we make more films.
