This video is very well produced, informative and enjoyable. I particularly like the focus on the off-ship activities, with just enough descriptions and historical tidbits to add interest. These features are missing in most cruise videos. I'm curious about the guitar music that begins at 1:49, I believe. Can you provide the name of that piece? It's lovely, and so is the one that follows. (The Edith Piaf-style vocalists are excellent, too.) Thanks for a delightful virtual tour!
Many, many thanks for your most kind comments. They make all the work worth it! As far as the guitar music goes, I don't have an exact answer for you as I neglected to put the title on the end credits. But it likely came out of my collection of "buyout" music from Music2Hues, their Acoustic Guitar disc or it may have been one of the many BackTraxx clips I used. Not something you'd find in a record shop.
@@robertgundersen Thanks for your reply. I'll see if I can locate it somewhere. To my amateur ears, the first tune has a Celtic flavor, yet it seemed appropriate for Avignon. It added a nice touch to your narration. And no, it's not typical record shop fare! Looking forward to your next presentation.
Lovely video! I wish our experience on the same Viking itinerary had been comparable - while strikes and other acts of God are not Viking's fault, I was greatly disappointed by my experience with Viking's customer service department.

Well done and very helpful
Thanks for your comment. Really appreciate it

Excellent presentation. Will be sailing on Viking in early April 2023. What time of the year was your voyage?
Glad you liked the video. The trip was in last October. (2022)
Carl, My wife and I will be sailing on the Delling at that time too.
@@paulprichard7432 My wife and I will be on the April 4th to the 11th cruise, Lyon to Avignon.
@@carlmarks7448 Will be doing same tour in May!
Do you have any recommendations about the optional excursions for this cruise ill be doing it in next October
I'm not sure which ones we took that were optional, with the exception of the Pont du Gard Aqueduct. That was well worth the expense!
The was posted on December 31, but when did you take the cruise?
October 4-11, 2022 (Not the fastest editor! And life keeps interfering...)
