Since it began cruising
in Russia 21 years ago,
Viking has grown into
the world’s leading river
cruise line with 2012 seeing the
introduction of the revolutionary
Viking Longships. Not long
after, Viking Ocean Cruises
was unveiled - bringing Viking’s
award-winning river cruise
philosophy to the oceans, with
its first ocean ship Viking Star,
christened in 2015. Viking has
since added four more ships to
the fleet with Viking Jupiter due
to launch in early 2019, making
Viking the largest small ship
ocean cruise line.
In this short time Viking’s ocean
ships have received numerous
accolades including being
named #1 Ocean Cruise Line
by Travel + Leisure readers in
the World’s Best Awards for
three years in a row. Classified
as “small ships” by Cruise Critic,
all of the company’s 930-guest
sister ships have been awarded
a top rating of five stars by the
publication.
Each identical ocean ship
carries only 930 guests in 465
verandah staterooms and is
engineered at a scale that allows
direct access into most ports.
Viking’s ocean ships have a
gross tonnage of 47,800 tonnes,
are 227.2m in length, with a draft
of 6.3m and can travel up to 20
knots. The ocean ships also
feature a first-of-its-kind, glassbacked
Infinity Pool cantilevered
off the stern, allowing guests
to swim surrounded by their
destination.
Designed to be environmentally
friendly, Viking’s ships feature
dual-fuel engines with ‘clean’
exhaust meeting the most
stringent emission standards;
streamlined hull and bow
ADVERTISEMENT
Even engineers deserve a break
designed for maximum fuel
efficiency; solar panels and
equipment that minimises
exhaust pollution to meet
the strictest environmental
regulations.
Viking fares are highly inclusive
offering dining in a range of
venues, wine and beer with
meals, Wi-Fi and an excursion
in every port at no extra cost.
Viking provides destinationfocused
itineraries, designed
for travellers who have an
interest in geography, culture
and history. Itineraries are
designed with more time in
port than any other cruise
line – often with late evenings
or overnights and thoughtfully
curated shore expansion. The
Culture Curriculum, an exclusive
onboard program, brings local
history to life with lectures
on history and art; tasting of
vintage wines from the regions;
restaurant menus inspired by
local cuisine; informative port
talks; enriching performances
featuring folkloric shows and
musicians playing regional and
classical music.
Viking has the world covered
with an extensive selection
of ocean and river cruises to
choose from. Experience ocean
cruising to Scandinavia, Asia,
the Caribbean, North and South
America or cruise the historic
waterways of Europe on their
award-winning river ships. One
of their most popular cruises
is Viking Homelands, a 15-
day cruise from Stockholm to
Bergen. This itinerary features
an outstanding blend of
northern continental European
cities, magnificent fjords and
the legendary homeland of
the Vikings. Book this cruise
