1. No Children or
Casinos
We take a unique approach to cruising by defining the things we intentionally
leave out. We are not everything to everyone, and that's what sets us apart.
You will not find any casinos or kids under 18 on our ships. We know that our
guests are well-traveled and culturally curious, and we're all about delivering
meaningful experiences that are tailored to you.
2. Private Veranda
for Every Stateroom
All of our ships are designed with your own private veranda, no matter which
stateroom category you choose. Inside you'll be greeted by a serene
Scandinavian-style space complete with a king-size bed and luxurious linens, as
well as a beautifully appointed bathroom with heated flooring and premium
Freyja bath products. Plus, with 24-hour room service and complimentary Wi-Fi
available throughout your voyage, you'll have everything you need to make your
cruise experience unforgettable.
3. All Meals Included from 8 Dining Experiences
With eight different dining venues to choose from, you can savor everything from Tuscan-style Italian cuisine at Manfredi's to a multi-course culinary experience at The Chef's Table. There are no additional fees to dine at any of our restaurants. Whether you prefer an elegant afternoon tea in the
Wintergarden or a meal al fresco on the Aquavit Terrace, the choice is yours.
We also offer complimentary wine, beer, and soft drinks with every lunch and
dinner. Plus, specialty tea, coffee, and bottled water are available 24/7, so
you can indulge any time of day or night.
4. Free Excursion at
Every Port
We are passionate about making sure you get the most out of every destination
you visit. That's why we include a complimentary shore excursion in every port
of call, so you can explore, experience, and learn about the local culture
without any extra cost. Our expertly guided tours take you to all the must-see
sights, from iconic museums to major historical landmarks. We also offer a
range of exciting and authentic optional experiences that cater to all
interests, so you can immerse yourself even further in every destination.
Whether you're an art lover, a foodie, or an adventure seeker, we have
something for everyone.
5. Onboard Enrichment
Programs
Viking understands that for their guests, the learning and exploration never stops.
That's why they offer an enriching onboard program that's designed to educate and
inspire you throughout your journey. Instead of onboard novelties, we provide
world-class lectures, wine tastings, and cooking classes that are sure to
expand your horizons. You can also enjoy browsing our bespoke art collections,
exploring our library of books curated by London's Heywood Hill bookshop, and
being entertained by live music and dance performances that showcase the local
culture of the destinations they visit.
6. Complimentary
Nordic Spa Access
At Viking, they believe that indulging in a little pampering is always a good
idea. That's why they provide complimentary access to their Nordic Spa facilities
where you can unwind in our hydrotherapy pool, relax on heated beds, and
experience the invigorating hot-cold therapy in our Steam Room and Snow Grotto,
inspired by centuries-old Nordic bathing rituals. If you want to take your
relaxation to the next level, we also offer optional spa treatments such as
massages, facials, and beauty treatments including manicures and pedicures.
