Viking
Discover voyages for curious travelers.
Founded in 1997, Viking provides destination-focused journeys on rivers, oceans, and lakes around the world. Designed for curious travelers with interests in science, history, culture and cuisine, Viking has more than 250 awards to its name, including being the first cruise line ever to be simultaneously named the #1 Ocean Line and #1 River Line in Travel + Leisure’s 2022 “World’s Best” Awards. Viking was also rated the #1 River Line and #1 Ocean Line by Condé Nast Traveler in the publication’s 2021 Readers’ Choice Awards.
River and Ocean Cruise Leader.
Perfect for travelers who are far more interested in the cities they're visiting than the ship that's taking them there, Viking's ocean and river vessels feature simple, stylish modern Scandinavian design that is both contemporary and comfortable.
Why we love Viking.
-
The World's Leading River and Ocean Line, Viking has been Voted #1 by both Condé Nast Traveler and Travel + Leisure.
-
Curiosity and wonder continue to drive Viking today. Building on Norway’s maritime legacy, Viking continues to innovate, first inventing modern river cruising, then reinventing ocean cruising, and now perfecting expedition cruising.
-
Every detail is designed to appeal to the thinking traveler. Learn about the destinations with enriching lectures on geology, glaciology, marine biology, ornithology and more. Gain an overview of activities to come during daily briefings; join Viking Resident Scientists in the Laboratory or learn more at your leisure in the specially curated library.
-
Viking’s expedition ships have a dynamic positioning mode that allows them to hover in place when anchoring is difficult. This provides guests with more comfortable, small craft embarkation for excursions. To further enhance guest comfort, ships feature both fin stabilizers that reduce rolling while sailing, and a U-tank stabilizer that reduces rolling by nearly 50% when the ships are stationary.
-
Choose from six dining options or enjoy many of their signature dishes in the comfort of your stateroom with 24-hour room service.
"In addition to being known for what we do, Viking stands apart for all that we do not do: No children, no nickel and dimming, no casinos, no inside staterooms, no charge for WiFi, no entrance fee for the spa, and no charge for alcohol with meals.”
