The Viking Difference

Destination Focused. Culturally Enriching. Carefully Curated.

Small ships, big advantage. Whether it’s the banks of the Danube, shores of the Baltic or isles of the Mediterranean. Viking’s intimate vessels sail into the heart of your destination — where new discoveries are just a short walk from your ship.

Sail in Scandinavian serenity. Viking has fine-tuned the art of exploring the world in comfort. Understated, elegant ships, thoughtfully engineered by nautical architects to bring the outside in. Graceful staterooms and suites designed for ultimate comfort and serenity. And light-filled public spaces to inspire and refresh you throughout your journey.

Cultural enrichment from ship to shore. Included shore excursions provide the ported overview of cultural and historic highlights, with some delightful surprises. But Viking also takes you beyond the iconic: itineraries often offer an optional Local Life, Working World or Privileged Access experience. Onboard performances, presentations and insightful lectures bring local cultures to life.

Unparalleled dining and service. Viking’s destination-focused dining brings regional cuisine choices to your table, and the revolutionary Aquavit Terrace offers the most al fresco dining on the rivers and seas. From dining rooms to staterooms, highly trained staff deliver award-winning service, thoughtful attention and genuine warmth to every guest.

Engaging minds and an explorer spirit. Travel should be more than just a trip – it should be a doorway to cultural insight and personal enrichment. That’s why Viking’s itineraries are designed to help you explore the nuances of your destination in comfort.
