WHY VIKING?
Top reasons to explore the world in comfort on board our small ships.
There is simply no better way to experience the wonders of the world than from the water. Imagine sailing into the heart of Europe on a serene river voyage, exploring charming towns and cultural gems. Alternatively, picture yourself traveling further to the great cities of the world on a small ocean ship, arriving into harbors you have always dreamed of visiting, or embarking on an extraordinary polar expedition that encompass the spellbinding realms of Antarctica offering panoramic views of crystalline glaciers and snowy beaches.
VIKING INCLUSIVE VALUE
At Viking, we have crafted a fare that includes everything you need—and nothing you do not—without any additional expenses for coffee, wine or onboard meals. There is no charge for Wi-Fi or port taxes and fees, plus we offer one complimentary shore excursion in every port and so much more.
SMALL SHIP EXPERIENCE
Designed to evoke a sense of comfort akin to a floating hotel, our innovative small ships boast a serene atmosphere with light-filled spaces and a quiet, understated elegance. This is the Viking version of modern luxury.
FOR THE THINKING PERSON™
Each Viking voyage is thoughtfully designed to immerse your clients in rich history, vibrant cultures and awe-inspiring natural beauty. Our carefully curated onboard enrichment offers immersive experiences for the curious traveler. While our onshore excursions feature the expected and iconic—such as visits to renowned museums and notable landmarks—we also offer our guests LOCAL LIFE, WORKING WORLD and PRIVILEGED ACCESS® experiences, opening doors to places otherwise difficult to visit. Designed to create lifelong memories for curious travelers, these unforgettable experiences immerse you in every aspect of your trip.
