The Viking Difference
Scandinavian Style
Viking’s Scandinavian-inspired ships offer comfort in every corner. Relax in the Nordic spa, unwind in the Badestamp, and enjoy stunning views from The Living Room and Explorers' Lounge. Experience al fresco lounging on the Finse Terrace, and enjoy lectures in the Aula, all while being surrounded by remarkable Nordic-inspired design.
Expedition-Ready
Viking's expedition vessels offer top-notch exploration equipment. From the innovative Hangar and Special Operations Boats to zodiacs, kayaks, and submarines, each ensures a safe and thrilling experience. The Viking Expedition Kit provides all necessary gear, including a keepsake jacket, for polar expeditions to Antarctica and the Arctic.
World-Class Dining
Viking offers a diverse, destination-focused dining experience with regional specialties and classic favourites. Enjoy daily changing menus in The Restaurant, Italian cuisine at Manfredi’s, vibrant international flavours at the World Café, Norwegian treats at Mamsen’s, and relaxing drinks at the Aquavit Terrace. 24-hour room service is also available.
Intimate Cruising
Viking’s vessels offer an exclusive, intimate experience with fewer guests, ensuring a more personalised journey. Ships like the Viking Mississippi and ocean vessels provide spacious environments, emphasising comfort, relaxation, and attentive service. This design allows you to enjoy a more relaxed and tailored cruise experience away from crowded ships.
