Rare loriva Posted May 3, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 3, 2023 They announced on Jupiter that the ABBA Songbook is about to be removed from the Viking entertainment program. No word on what new is coming up. Will post if they make a similar announcement on The Beatles show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sugarside Posted May 3, 2023 #5 Share Posted May 3, 2023 On Viking Sky in December it was the vocal group’s first week with Viking and their nights were Beatles medley and American classics through the ages. I don’t recall an Abba night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CILCIANRQTS Posted May 3, 2023 #6 Share Posted May 3, 2023 (edited) Thank God! Was Abba really worth 50 years of drunken praise - “I love that song! One more drink please.” On the Sea now. It’s Abba and Beatles Songbook. There has to be a better way! 🕺🎸 Edited May 3, 2023 by CILCIANRQTS 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammy Bun Posted May 3, 2023 #7 Share Posted May 3, 2023 We'll be boarding Jupiter on 2nd July. I'd be very glad not to have the Abba show again, but I'm guessing they'll 'retire' it after our cruise, which is almost entirely in Scandinavia! Homelands = Abba.

TayanaLorna Posted May 3, 2023 #8 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Same shows since we have been sailing with Viking since 2018. About time to retire both. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their rousing version of “God Save the Queen” in honor of the upcoming coronation, perhaps? 👑 Sadly, it’ll probably be something like Billy Joel and Neil Diamond instead.

I saw a guy do a Neil Diamond show last year on a Viking ship. He was very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually on our last cruise the singers did a version of Bohemian Rhapsody - we were very sceptical, however they made quite a good job of it, although granted it was never going to give goose bumps like Freddie!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lackcreativity Posted May 3, 2023 #25 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Why does a show have to be devoted to one group exclusively? Couldn't they do a whole decade at a time? They could then update a given show over time by adding and removing individual songs while not having to revamp the entire program. At least it would keep things a bit fresher as time goes by. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
