Re-inventing the ocean cruise experience, Viking has achieved a loyal following among discerning cruisegoers. A fleet of elegant ships, fascinating ports of call and all-inclusive pricing have made them an attractive choice.
Viking has already established itself as a leader in small ship ocean cruising. With a passenger capacity of just 930, Viking’s boutique ships are sizeable but intimate. On board, guests will find luxury features and modern conveniences all tastefully packaged in a medium-sized ship built for comfort.
Unlike the larger ocean-liners, Viking ships can sail straight into the heart of a destination, allowing guests more time to explore. In London for instance, why dock over an hour away at Southampton when you can sail right up the Thames and into the heartbeat of the city?
The interior of Viking ships are equally accommodating. Style and practicality set the tone onboard. You won’t find flashy casinos for example nor pre-mixed umbrella drinks or even children!
From delicious regionally-inspired meals, to enriching destination performances, fascinating lectures to included shore-excursions and Wi-Fi, you’ll find that Viking has set a new standard in ocean cruising.
Here is more of what you can expect when sailing with Viking Ocean Cruises.
Private verandahs
Staterooms and suites offer spacious, elegant surroundings with a king-size bed and private verandah adding that extra special touch of enjoyment. You will also find heated bathroom floors, powerful showers, 24-hour room service, free Wi-Fi and movies on-demand. And with all cabins surrounded by the latest sound-proofing technology, a peaceful slumber is assured.
10 dining venues
With a choice of ten different dining venues, the most difficult decision you’ll have to make is where to dine. On Viking, there are no pay-to-dine options. All meals, regardless of the dining venue, are included in your fare. Dinner attire is smart casual too, so a dinner jacket is never required. Simply relax and enjoy the five-star service, quality cuisine and wine.
Al-Fresco dining
Viking ships offer more al-fresco dining options than any other cruise line. Aquavit Terrace, World Café and The Restaurant offer the chance to dine inside, or out.
24-hour room service
Do you fancy a breakfast served in bed? How about dinner under the stars on your private verandah? It’s all possible, thanks to 24-hour room service – complimentary of course.
Beverages
For lunch and dinner, guests enjoy complimentary wine, beer and soft drinks in any of the ten onboard dining venues. Specialty teas, coffee drinks and bottled water are available anytime throughout your journey.
