Did YOU Know? Ever wondered why cruise ships don't have a 13th floor? It's a superstition rooted in maritime tradition! Many cruise ships skip from deck 12 to deck 14, avoiding the number 13 due to its unlucky reputation across various cultures. Similarly, Italian cruise lines often skip a 17th floor, as the number 17 is believed to bring bad luck in Italian culture. Next time you're aboard a luxurious cruise liner, take note of the deck numbers and discover the fascinating superstitions that shape maritime culture. Or do you take the stairs instead?

My review of Viking Polaris expedition cruise from Toronto Harbour through St. Lawrence Seaway and along US Atlantic coast to Fort Lauderdale appears today in Travel Industry Today. I enjoyed every day of this voyage, made great fun by Polaris’ engaging crew. Interesting point for Canadian travel advisors who cater to snowbird clients: several couples whom I met - including from Europe and New Zealand - were inspired by their savvy advisors to book this cruise as an alternative to a flight south for the winter. #MyVikingStory #TravelIndustryToday #Viking #expedition #cruise #traveladvisor #travelagent Travel Industry Today
