One thing I’ve always said about Viking River Cruises is that they always put on a good show – and they always know how to impress.
Today, we bade farewell to a blustery Avignon and Viking Heimdal and made our way to Bordeaux on France’s Atlantic coast. But we didn’t drive there, or take a high-speed rail link. No. We flew in style on a private jet.

Arriving at Avignon Regional Airport at 9am, we were whisked through security and issued with a perfunctory boarding pass before walking across the tarmac to a gleaming-white BAE 146-200, a small, quad turbofan-engine jet equipped in an all-business class configuration.
