At A Glance
Viking began in 1997 when Torstein “Tor” Hagen—after a winding career in the cruise world and finance—acquired four river ships and built a company around
destination-focused, culturally immersive travel. Over time, Viking expanded from rivers to oceans (2015), and later to expedition cruising (2022),
while keeping the “grown-up curiosity” vibe front and center.
Portugal travel offers a world of choices
The country offers everything to the tourist – It is relatively cheap next to its Euro brethren, it has beautiful sandy beaches and a rugged coastline, an intriguing history, great people, good wine, fantastic food and cities that stun with their architectural beauty.
What’s not to love?
Perhaps the lack of conversation about Portugal travel is that it is not really a country from which one can get to many other places.
The geographical position as the southern most European nation is maybe a bit of a hindrance to those seeking more Europe for their money. But the great thing about this is that means the crowds are less and the sites more accessible.
Portugal, although small compared to Spain, offers so much to the traveler that it really shouldn’t require more countries to visit to make a memorable vacation.
