VISIT 'DOWNTON ABBEY' ON A VIKING CRUISE



If there's anything Pam enjoys as much as cruising, it has to be the PBS Masterpiece series, Downton Abbey. In fact, she has me hooked, too. So when we get a press release that combines both cruising and Downton Abbey, you know that gets our attention. In this case, Viking River Cruises is renewing its sponsorship of PBS Masterpiece for two additional years, through 2014.
Pam took special note of this from their PR release:
"As an extension of its MASTERPIECE sponsorship, Viking also recently announced an optional Oxford & Highclere Castle pre- or post- trip experience for travelers on the Cities of Light or Paris & the Heart of Normandy cruises. On this itinerary extension, Viking guests will spend three days in the rolling hills of England's countryside, with a champagne welcome and special tour of Highclere Castle, known to television audiences worldwide as Downton Abbey."
What a dream excursion that would be. Of course, I would be a little concerned Pam might break away from the tour group and Mrs. Patmore might have an extra helper in the kitchen come season three. -- Gerry

Oh, this does sound dreamy. But, as much as I love cooking, I don't the kitchen is where I could be found. No, you would probably find me rummaging through the fabulous clothing the ladies wear. Simply divine! -- Pam
