Welcome to the three worlds of Viking, (Rivers, Oceans and Expeditions), visiting 7 continents, 85 countries, over 500 ports, 5 oceans, 21 rivers and 5 great lakes!
So much to explore! We all know that river cruises will take you into the heart of the charming villages they visit. Did you know Viking has much more to offer?
Onboard Viking ships, you will not find winding water slides, children, or casinos on board. If you like to experience more culture and enrichment this is the one for you.
Viking voyages are designed to help you explore and have more of a personal experience with the destinations you visit, through food, culture, and customs.
Onboard you can attend a lecture on history and art, a cooking demonstration of destination city favorites and menus that offer local cuisine and more.
Their expedition ships are specifically designed to explore the most remote places on the planet, while still having the elegance and service as their ocean liners.
Of course, you still have spaces for dining, relaxation and conversation, but you also have wonderful additions due to their commitment to science.
Guests can witness the launch of weather balloons from the top deck on the Viking Polaris’s NOAA/US National Weather Service Balloon Station.
The onboard Science Lab has partnered with various esteemed academic institutions. Their guest speakers not only provide lectures on board but conduct experiments and research while on group shore excursions.
The Hanger, an in-ship marina launches special operations boats and submarines, kayaks, and Zodiacs.
