Ahoy! Guildies were welcomed aboard the stylish Nordic cruise ship Saturn on Tuesday 29th September 2026, where members (writers, photographers and bloggers) enjoyed tea and coffee and delish pastries in the Wintergarden. The BGTW creatives were welcomed by the Viking Marketing team, who shared travel inspiration for the year ahead and story ideas, which was followed by a ship tour of the state rooms, pool deck and luxe onboard spa.

Later, the group enjoyed a delicious al fresco lunch on deck at the World Café. The ice cream bar (which includes a rainbow of flavors, including a delicious Norwegian red berry sorbet and toppings) was a hit on this hot late summer day. The sun shone down on a grand Guildie day out.

Thank you to our friends at Viking for their hospitality. Travel stories incoming!
