Viking River & Ocean Cruise Travel Special

There is simply no better way to experience the world’s great rivers and oceans than aboard Viking’s elegant, small ships. Designed for English-speaking, mature couples with a passion for history, culture, and geography, Viking offers destination-focused, culturally enriching journeys that go far beyond traditional cruising.

Viking is proud to be the only travel company rated #1 for both rivers and oceans by Condé Nast Traveler readers for five consecutive years, reflecting an unmatched standard of excellence and guest satisfaction.

Each Viking ship is thoughtfully designed for exploration and comfort, offering the refined feel of a boutique luxury hotel at sea or on the river. All staterooms are outside-facing, with light-filled public spaces and modern amenities including heated bathroom floors, anti-fog mirrors, and luxury bed linens. Ships dock in the heart of each destination, placing guests within walking distance of historic town centers and iconic landmarks.

Dining with Viking is an experience in itself. Guests can enjoy al fresco meals on the Aquavit Terrace while scenic landscapes drift by, creating the most immersive outdoor dining experience on Europe’s rivers. Menus highlight regional cuisine made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, paired with hand-selected wines that showcase each destination’s signature varietals.

With Viking Inclusive Value, everything guests need is included—and nothing they do not. Each voyage features one complimentary shore excursion in every port, all onboard meals with regional specialties and familiar American classics, wine, beer, and soft drinks with lunch and dinner, free Wi-Fi, visits to UNESCO World Heritage sites, and all port fees and taxes.

Viking’s onshore experiences follow The Viking Way, offering deeper, more meaningful connections through Local Life, Working World, and exclusive Privileged Access experiences. Guests may enjoy behind-the-scenes opportunities such as spending time with the Vienna Boys’ Choir or visiting the real Downton Abbey with a tour of Highclere Castle on select pre- or post-cruise extensions.
