Renowned as the world’s leading small ship cruise line, Viking focuses on ensuring guests travel in comfort, while being culturally immersed in their destinations. River cruises explore rivers across Europe, Asia, Egypt, and Mississippi. Ocean cruises explore Scandinavia and Northern Europe, the Americas and Caribbean, Mediterranean, Asia, and Australia — plus there is also the option to embark on a Viking Grand Voyage. Viking Expeditions travel to Antarctica, Great Lakes and Canada — plus there are Viking Grand Journeys to explore.
Why Viking and Fine Travel
Viking offers voyages to all seven continents, and, through its variety of offerings from river cruises, ocean cruises, and expeditions, there is a style of cruising that suits your expectations. Whether you’re after a relaxed Mediterranean cruise or an expedition to Antarctica, there is that specific something you’re looking for.
“What Viking Is Not” isn’t just a slogan – Viking is committed to its approach of an inclusive experience without pressure of paying surcharges or extra for specialty restaurants or onboard experiences. Once you pay for your cruise, Viking is there to help you enjoy it, and there is a distinct absence of commercialism during your cruise holiday. They also don't host children under 18, there is no casino, no formal nights, butlers, and white gloves, no art auctions or photography sales, and no charge for WiFi.
Thanks to Viking’s fleet of small ships, they can dock where larger ships can’t, taking you to destinations you may not have been able to visit before. As the ships are identical, repeat guests have a sense of familiarity across voyages. They’ve won an array of awards for their ships and their voyages, with their most recent being #1 in the mid-size ship (300–799 cabins) category in the 2023 Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards.
