What You Can Expect from Viking Cruises

Small Ship Experts

On a Viking ship, you will sail into the heart of your destination, so you can explore up close and in depth.

The Viking Way

While their included and optional shore excursions cover cultural and historic highlights, Viking also go beyond with The Viking Way—a program including their Local Life, Working World and Privileged Access experiences—opening doors to people and places otherwise difficult to visit.

Cultural Enrichment

Viking’s Culture Curriculum, an exclusive onboard program, brings local history to life with lectures on history and art; tasting of vintage wines from your destinations; restaurant menus inspired by local cuisine; informative port talks; enriching Destination Performances featuring folkloric shows and musicians playing regional and classical music.
