Although I understand the Viking cruises involve little, if any, looting and pillaging.
Well shoot, in that case forget it!!
I remember someone (Lisah?) went on a barge(?) trip in France that sounded amazing?

My aunt, cousin, and cousin's daughter went on a Rhine (I think) cruise and loved it. And they're all seasoned travelers, so I believe them when they tell me I'd like it. In fact they had a different one scheduled for 2020, but, of course, that didn't happen.
It's in my package of things I'd like to do. But when? Who knows. There are a lot of things in that travel pack of ideas.
Oh! I am going to Austin for business from 11/1-4, so that's a thing. I've been invited to a "house party with ecstatic dancing." I both don't think that's my jam and am SO curious. We'll see.
Who's in Austin? I know there are some Texas peeps, but I also know Texas is big. I have no idea what my free time will be like, but I'm sure the will be some. If I'm not dancing ecstatically, that is.

Useta-could.
There are companies which do cruises on the Mississippi, Ohio, and Tennessee rivers. I think there are also Great Lakes and St. Lawrence river cruises.

There are also cruises up the coast of Alaska.

That's what I've been on, part of the coast of Alaska. It was terrific! Highly recommend. [Not the ferry, the other one. The ferry cruise was very very different and not a normal thing - still an enjoyable experience but just not in the same ballpark or league or whatever] I've wanted to do a Mississippi river cruise for forever, ideally on a paddlewheel boat. Or, you know, raft because I am impractically romantic like that. As a child in Baton Rouge I saw a play put on by a theater troupe that reportedly was traveling down the river by raft between shows and that made quite an impression.

I am *fascinated*, and you have to give us a full report.

Is the ecstatic dancing required? That *is* intriguing.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I believe that ecstatic dancing can't really share space with other activities. In the before times, there was a weekly aession at the local theatre. My impression was that it was a lot of close proximity to sweaty bodies. Since we have an over-abundance of hippies, the bodies in question tended to have an un-viking-like relationship to regular hygiene and bathing.

I guess I'm wondering if it is ok to wedge yourself into a corner and not dance if you don't feel moved to
