Amsterdam Embarkation, Sideways Cabin Tour, Candlelight Canal Cruise - HAL Ultimate Viking Explorer

Let's kick off a 35-day back-to-back mega-adventure onboard Nieuw Statendam, starting with a 21-day round-trip itinerary out of Amsterdam called the "Ultimate Viking Explorer" with stops in Norway, Iceland, Greenland, and Scotland, among other destinations!

In today's vlog, we'll go through our embarkation day in Amsterdam, toss in some footage from our pre-cruise tour with Shore Excursions Group through the canals of Amsterdam, then roll into our first full day at sea, full of trivia and tunes.

We'll be continuing into the next sailing, which is a 14-day round-trip itinerary called "North Cape & The Midnight Sun" which focuses primarily on Norway... but more on that later!! :P
