Silver Travel Advisor Partner - Viking

Welcome to the world of Viking

As the world’s leading river cruise line, Viking like to do things differently. The design of the Viking Longships® has revolutionised the river cruise experience and now, with the launch of new ocean cruises on the stunning, all-veranda Viking Star, Viking Sea and Viking Sky, Viking Sun and Viking Orion, Viking intend to revolutionise ocean cruising.

Viking believe that cruising should be about experiencing a destination and not just linking places on a map. Your journey should be one in which you can immerse yourself in the culture; one that will also relax and refresh you.

On a Viking cruise you look beyond the sights to explore the heart and soul of each fascinating destination, its people, culture, history and language. From marvelling at the skill of a flamenco dancer in a medieval Spanish town to watching a batik artist at work on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia, each day brings new discoveries.

On board brings more wonderful discoveries. A spacious, light-filled lounge and bar are perfect for relaxing. And in the stylishly casual open-seating restaurants, no dinner jacket is required. You can choose to sit where you like and eat what you love – with a changing menu that features regional dishes and international favourites.

Viking’s elegant staterooms are the perfect sanctuary, and offer a wonderful view of the world through which you’re travelling. On Viking river ships, every room is an outside room with a river view. And every ocean room has its own private veranda.

Of course, great value is a given when you travel with Viking. You can enjoy a host of inclusions, such as delicious meals on board with complimentary wine, beer and soft drinks, a guided excursion in each port of call and free Wi-Fi. Everything you need to enjoy yourself is included in the price.

Whether you choose to sail the world’s great rivers or the oceans, or even a round the world cruise, you can be sure that every Viking journey is unique, exciting and truly memorable.
