There is simply nothing quite like experiencing the oceans and rivers of the world from the comfort of one of Viking’ s elegant, small ships. Viking ®— named # 1 for Rivers and # 1 for Oceans in the 2025 Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards for the fifth consecutive year— has created destinationfocused voyages on all seven continents— each one designed for The Thinking Person. ™
Viking believes in offering extraordinarily well-designed voyages that bring you closer to the cultures of the world. Their intimate vessels include all the amenities of a fine hotel. Sail into the heart of your destination where new discoveries are just a short walk from your ship. From river ships in Europe, Southeast Asia, Egypt and along the Mississippi to under-1,000-guest ocean ships that sail the world, Viking offers a tremendous variety of itineraries and departures. And their new, purpose-built expedition ships journey to Antarctica and the Great Lakes, allowing them to take you to all seven continents.
Viking’ s elegant ships are thoughtfully engineered with graceful staterooms and suites designed for ultimate comfort and serenity, and light-filled public spaces which
inspire and refresh guests throughout their journey. Their innovative Viking Longships ®— the newest and largest river fleet in Europe— feature premium amenities, river cruising’ s first true two-room suites and the most al fresco dining on Europe’ s rivers. Guests can enjoy destination-focused dining with regional cuisine and always-available classics. Each ship’ s highly trained chefs are passionate about food and committed to providing an enriching culinary experience. With flavors accented by their onboard herb garden and a wide selection of regional wines, guests will find that with Viking, dining is part of the journey.
Viking’ s itineraries are designed to help you explore and engage with the destination through its food, culture and customs. While Viking features the expected and iconic in their included shore excursions and curated optional tours, they also offer Local Life, Working World and Privileged Access ® experiences, opening doors to places otherwise difficult to visit.
Wherever you choose to go, Viking takes you to places you can only fully appreciate by river or ocean and takes you there in comfort.
