River Cruising
Europe
Did you know almost all of Europe’s monarchs can be traced back to one man, a mighty Viking warlord named Rollo? This Scandinavian raider founded the duchy of Normandy (in modern-day France) around 900AD and declared himself its first ruler. A true giant of a man, his nickname was Rollo the Walker because it was said there was no horse large enough to carry him. He was the great-great-grandfather of William the Conqueror, who is a direct ancestor of most of the royal families in Europe.
During a Scenic Europe river cruise on the Seine in France, guests can witness this incredible history coming to life in a fascinating way, thanks to Ben Baillie. Dressing up as Rollo the Viking, he will take you through the medieval laneways of Rouen, France, sharing stories of Viking raiders and ancient royalty in a truly unique way – exclusive for Scenic guests.
Here, Ben tells us why he loves getting into character and shares the expectations, enjoyment and friendship that went into creating an unforgettable cruise season.
