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.

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.
