We met Johanna Molin for the first time in December 2012 when we visited the STX shipyard in Turku, Finland. While she passionately guided us through the newbuilding Viking Grace we knew right away we met one very special lady. In 2013 we sailed on the freshly-delivered ferry and got to know [...]
Endless grey clouds and hardly any winter. That was Belgium during the last months. The idea of taking a trip for a few days to a sunny destination sounded very tempting. Valencia is a fabulous place to discover! Together with its mild climate, this city offers a nice balance between the city [...]
