Exploring the World in Understated Elegance

Viking focuses strictly on destination immersion and cultural enrichment for adults 18+. There are no casinos, no children, no umbrella drinks with loud pool games, and no nickel-and-diming. Every stateroom on ocean ships has a private veranda, Wi-Fi is complimentary, and one shore excursion is included in every port.

Viking fares include accommodations, all meals across all restaurants (including specialty dining venues), beer and wine during lunch and dinner, specialty coffees and teas, high-speed Wi-Fi, self-service launderettes, access to the Nordic Spa thermal suite, and one guided excursion in every port.

No. All guests aboard Viking River, Ocean, and Expedition cruises must be at least 18 years old. This maintains a peaceful, adult-centered ambiance throughout the vessel.

Viking occupies the upper-premium to luxury tier, often called 'destination luxury.' While it does not include round-the-clock open bars or personal butlers in entry-level rooms like Regent or Silversea, its hardware, cuisine, service, and Scandinavian elegance rival ultra-luxury lines at a far more accessible price point.

Trips & Ships Luxury Travel provides insider cabin selection, coordinates pre- and post-cruise luxury hotels, manages flight logistics, offers exclusive travel promotions, and gives you direct access to Angela Hughes and our team of Viking Certified Specialists at zero added fee.
