"A decision we are very glad we made was to join Viking Explorers Rally in crossing the Atlantic Ocean. We joined mostly for the camaraderie, but there are so many more advantages. The directors, Oliver and Carlota, are nothing short of amazing! Some of the reasons we are glad: they organize all the marinas before and after the crossing, assist with customs and check-in/out procedures (making it a breeze), they are a wealth of information in a variety of different areas (safety tips, provisioning, medical supplies, local knowledge...). They assist you with getting the freshest produce of your choice delivered directly to your boat, assist with getting your choice of meat deep frozen and vacuum sealed. They limit the boats to 25 participants, giving us exceptional personalized service! Most importantly, they organize lots of fun gatherings! The BEST part is all the new friends we’ve made and the camaraderie that comes with it! Such an incredible event is definitely better shared!!"
