Experience The Viking Difference

Viking pride themselves on offering you extraordinary, well designed cruises that bring you closer to the cultures of the world. The itineraries are destination focussed, culturally enriching, and carefully crafted.

Art, literature, and heritage infuse every moment, with onboard spaces lovingly curated and onshore experiences hand picked. Here are just some Viking differences that set them apart.

The Thinking Person’s cruise

Viking itineraries are created for discerning travellers. Are you curious, active, and interested in the cultural aspects of travel? Then a Viking cruise is for you.

Destination is Key to the Experience

Viking have identified the main attractions of each destination to share with you, including individual sites like the Vatican Museum to which they have secured private access, or entire towns like Mostar.

More Time in Port

Itineraries are curated to give you maximum time in port, often with late evenings or overnight stays so you can experience the local nightlife or evening performances.

The Small Ship Experts

Thanks to their size, Viking’s ocean ships can dock centrally. Your itinerary will showcase historic locations and places of great beauty, often right on your doorstep.

The Award Winning Fleet

Viking pride themselves on their elegant, state of the art sister ships. Welcoming just 930 guests each, these vessels are an experience in themselves.

Serene Scandinavian Spaces

The elegant Viking ocean ships are designed with a Scandinavian sophistication. Natural materials are found throughout the ships, with Nordin timber touches like pine, birch, white ash and juniper.

All Veranda Staterooms

Viking ships have some of the largest suites and bathrooms on the seas. There are no inside staterooms or obstructed views, meaning that you will be treated to a new vista every day from the comfort of your veranda cabin.

Memorable Experiences

You will have access to extensive onshore and onboard experiences to get the most out of your holiday. Viking offer an included shore excursion at every port to get your adventure started.

Award Winning Service

You will become part of the Viking family, with genuine warmth and thoughtful attention from the Swiss-trained, English speaking staff aboard each ship.

Destination Focussed Dining

Food is often a big part of a region’s culture. Viking capture this with the most al-fresco dining at sea, featuring regional cuisine and always available western classics. Choose from 10 dining options to satisfy your palate.

Culturally Enriching Programs

Ports include both cosmopolitan cities and “collector ports” and appeal to those with an interest in history, art, music, architecture and local culture and traditions.

The Viking Way

Viking brings you unique experiences. These include ‘Local Life’ options such as a tapas workshop at a village market, an insight into the ‘Working World’ at a porcelain manufacturer in Valencia, and ‘Privileged Access’ to unique places such as a private estate in the hills outside Athens.

Viking Inclusive Value

Your cruise fare includes everything you need. No hidden surcharges. Enjoy 24-hour room service, connect with loved ones on the free Wi-Fi network aboard, and relax in the hydrotherapy pool and sauna in the shipboard spa facilities.

No Kids, No Casinos.

On your Viking cruise you will not find children, casinos, ship photographers or art auctions. No need to compete with kids cannonballing into the pool, instead just relax and enjoy the company of likeminded travellers.

English Speaking Staff

For guest convenience all Viking crew and staff are English speaking. While learning some phrases in a new language and fumbling over your words is part of the fun ashore, on board you can relax with an English speaking team.
