The Midnight Library Book Quotes
One of my all time favourite books, Matt Haig’s The Midnight Library was released in 2020 and quickly became a worldwide phenomenon. Not only did it spend 40 weeks on the Sunday Times bestseller list, but it was also voted Best Fiction Book 2020 in the Goodreads Choice Awards.
Welcome to the Viking Skaga - one of Viking Cruises’ noble river ships. She takes her name from an ancient Norse myth, where the Valkyrie Skaga rode into battle and escorted the dead to Valhalla, before preparing them to fight in the epic battle of Ragnarok.
A relatively new ship, the Viking Skaga only entered the fleet in 2020. At just 410 feet and carrying 168 guests and 48 crew, she was built specifically to sail down the Seine in France, although the specific itinerary will vary depending on the time of year. I was fortunate enough to join the ship for her week long Christmas on the Seine cruise, which starts and ends in Paris, calling at Vernon, Caudebec-en-Caux, Rouen, Honflour (via an excursion) and Les Andelys along the way.
