About me

My name is Yvon Dauchot and I am a widowed man traveling solo around the world and spending my retired life at sea.  I was born and raised in a small town outside of Brussels, Belgium.  Began my career as a Pastry Chef in Ireland but made my way to the Bahamas.  I met my wife Rose in the Bahamas, we raised 2 amazing boys in Florida who eventually got married and gave us 3 grandchildren.  After we both retired, we loved to travel, in fact we cruised around the world and saw all 7 continents.  After 50 years of a wonderful marriage, Rose passed away.  It’s been 5 years now since she passed and I have decided to get aboard the Viking Cruise Lines and spend my retirement at sea, remembering the past, meeting new people, developing new relationships, and creating new memories.
