Viking Line Cruises: Enjoying Life?
I've never been onboard.
And I never will.
For many, cruising Viking Line is considered (by presumption) dull and mundane, leaving it totally unconsidered as a fun and easy weekend-getaway option.

I can understand what it wants to say but it doesn't bend the negativity into something positive - which it did aim at.

I think this is closer to saying
"if you're Ginger you can't come on one of our cruises"
than it is to hitting its message
What the hell is on her head?
Flat as hell.
With the same model and software, think what they could have done.

She's supposed to be a horse with blinders on, right? Maybe overly dramatic? If there is no funny aspect to it, especially with the model's expression, it just comes off as putting down the consumers rather than arrousing curiosity. It's almost saying, "You're so stupid for not having your own opinion and trying it, we don't even want you."
huh?????

Seen this ad in a Finnish magazine that seemed like something for very self-aware readers. In that particular medium it was right at home. Knowing the brand from my perspective it's a definite upgrade. Props for the work that lead to this execution.
I agree.
When it comes to travelling with Viking Line, you'll want to wear more than simply blinders.
As for the advert, I think the story falls short. Sorry.
Not bad but the product will never meet the advertising. Maybe this is something that forces Viking Line forward. Remains to be seen.
"And i never will"
Don´t forget it, Viking Line!
