January 5 2026 Day 1 – The cruise begins!

Today was the first day of our 4-month journey. We flew from Portland to Los Angeles.

On the Delta flight

We then bussed from LAX to the Port of San Pedro and boarded the ship. We were outside the Viking Sky ship right before boarding. A slight hiccup with check-in that was quickly resolved.

Two images of the ship. Not a huge vessel compared to many others.

Our humble abode for the next 4+ months. A lot of unpacking after this photo was taken.

After initial unpacking, we explored the ship. Two shots with San Pedro in the background.

This is the grand staircase. Taken right before we headed to the room for the evening.
