THE VIKING DIFFERENCE
A Different Kind of Cruise Experience
Viking does not try to be everything to everyone.
There are no casinos.
There are no children under 18.
There are no massive amusement-park attractions competing for your attention.
Instead, Viking focuses on comfortable small ships, thoughtful service, cultural enrichment and itineraries designed to give travelers greater access to the places they have traveled to experience.
For travelers who would rather spend the afternoon exploring Vienna, Barcelona or Bergen than standing in line for a waterslide, that distinction matters.
Viking itself describes its approach as “For The Thinking Person™.”
And that may be the simplest way to understand the product.
VIKING INCLUSIVE VALUE
More Is Already Included!
One of the most important differences to understand when comparing Viking with another cruise line is that the lowest advertised fare does not always tell you which cruise represents the better overall value.
Viking includes many items that may carry an additional charge elsewhere.
From destination-focused Viking voyages to Caribbean escapes and expedition travel, Shorescape Travel helps you find the right cruise for the way you want to travel.
CULTURAL ENRICHMENT Understand Where You're Going A Viking itinerary is designed to provide context before, during and after you step ashore. Programming may include: Destination lectures Resident historians Port talks Guest experts Regional music and performances Cooking demonstrations Art and cultural presentations Suggested books, films and educational material Included sightseeing Optional deeper-access excursions Rather than treating shore excursions as completely separate from the onboard experience, Viking tries to connect the two. You learn about the destination. You experience it. Then the journey continues. Viking describes this combination of onboard and onshore enrichment as a way to provide deeper cultural immersion in every destination.

Viking River
Europe From the Rivers That Shaped It
River cruising offers a fundamentally different way to experience Europe.
Instead of flying or driving from one city to another, your ship becomes your continuously moving hotel.
Wake in Budapest.
Sail through the Wachau Valley.
Walk through Vienna.
Pass castles and vineyards along the Rhine.
Explore medieval towns whose histories developed around the very rivers you are traveling.
Viking helped establish modern European river cruising and operates its recognizable Viking Longships across many of Europe's major waterways.
For travelers who want to experience multiple destinations without repeatedly packing, unpacking and changing hotels, river cruising can be one of the most efficient and comfortable ways to see Europe.
2/3
Viking Ocean
Small-Ship Ocean Cruising, Focused on the World Outside
Viking Ocean combines the reach of an ocean cruise with Viking's destination-first philosophy.
Rather than building enormous ships around entertainment districts, Viking's ocean vessels are designed on a smaller scale, with understated Scandinavian interiors, spacious public areas and an atmosphere created primarily for adult travelers.
Every stateroom features a veranda.
Dining is included across the ship's main venues.
Wi-Fi is included.
Beer and wine are included with lunch and dinner.
A shore excursion is included in each port.
And the onboard program is designed to help travelers better understand where they are going.
Viking's ocean fleet currently sails throughout Europe, the Mediterranean, Scandinavia, the British Isles, Alaska, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, the Americas and other regions around the world.
3/3
Viking Expedition
Exploration Without Giving Up Comfort
Expedition travel has traditionally forced travelers to choose between reaching remote destinations and traveling comfortably.
Viking approaches the category differently.
Its purpose-built expedition ships combine sophisticated Scandinavian design with specialized equipment and scientific facilities designed for exploration.
Voyages include destinations such as:
-
Antarctica
-
The Arctic
-
The Great Lakes
-
North America
-
South America
The objective is not simply to see remote places from the ship.
It is to explore them with expert guidance and a deeper understanding of the environment surrounding you.
