Exploring the World in Comfort
Estimated reading time: 18 minutes
Viking has set the standard for what river cruising should be. Today, it is The World’s Leading River Cruise Line®. Viking then took its destination-focused experience to the seas and redefined ocean cruising. For the fourth year in a row, Viking was named the #1 Ocean Cruise Line* by Travel + Leisure readers in the World’s Best Awards 2020. In 2020, Viking announced Viking Expeditions®, new voyages to the ends of the earth and closer to home. Beginning in early 2022, you have sail to the Arctic, Antarctica, North America’s Great Lakes. And later in 2022, you can be among the first to experience the modern river cruising on the Mississippi.
With Viking Inclusive Value the price you pay covers just about everything — port charges, Wi-Fi, meals, lectures, activities and shore excursions.
