Free As a Bird?
Published Monday, April 27th 2020 - Updated Saturday, May 2nd 2020Are you ready to escape your gilded cage?
Perhaps like many celebrities who preach to stay inside, you live in a palatial mansion with dozens of rooms you've never bothered to visit, surrounded by expansive grass lawns, swimming pool and organic gardens attended by a dozen undocumented aliens whom you pay slave wages.
More likely, your abode is a tad more humble, and no matter how carefully you furnished your home for comfort and beauty, you're starting to go stir crazy.
Soon, you'll be free to fly.
Why not fly for FREE-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E?
Book select 2020 or 2021 Viking River Cruises and fly free to Europe from major US airports!
Best of all, these are not short getaways but extended trips from 13 to 23 days, so you have the opportunity to fully leverage those long flights.
Take the trip of a lifetime from Amsterdam to Bucharest.
If you have some extra time, visit Transylvania, legendary home of Count Dracula, or spend a few days in Amsterdam.
Are you already fretting over three weeks away from home, or perhaps afraid that Vlad the Impaler might be laying in wait for his chance to suck you into his lifestyle? Remember, you can instead shorten the trip by cruising between Amsterdam and imperial Budapest, making this a still impressive two week voyage.
For something completely different, consider Waterways of the Tsars.
This choice could be perfect for you if like many of us you count an ocean cruise to Scandinavia/Russia as one of the best vacations of your life.
If you've never been to Russia, you owe that to yourself. You will be amazed to see the land that was mysteriously shielded behind an Iron Curtain when most of us were children.
When the doors to freedom open for you, will you contentedly sit on your perch?
There's nothing wrong with that, if that is what you truly want.
As Americans, we have the freedom to live the lives we choose.
We have the right to pursue happiness in the way that suits us personally.
It will be nice to just walk down to the park or beach, have a meal at your favorite restaurant or play golf at your favorite course.
Just don't let fear-mongers trap you inside forever.
Your life is waiting for you.
By the way, if you're simply a skittish about going to Europe this summer regardless of how luxurious the trip, rest assured that Viking was one of the first to offer peace of mind with free cancellation until 24 hours before travel begins for impacted cruises.
