Viking Has the Newest Luxury Fleet
“Viking is now the largest luxury cruise line.” -2019 Luxury Market Report, Cruise Industry News
Our fleet is more than five years newer than the average competitor.
Staterooms Thoughtfully Designed for Your Comfort
Rejuvenate in a king-size bed with a soft duvet and goose-down pillows. Indulge in complimentary programming on a flat-screen LCD TV with an easy-to-use remote. Generous closets, plentiful USB ports and US/EU outlets, plush robes and slippers add to your comfort.
And our award-winning bathrooms feature large glass-enclosed showers with easy-to-see controls, premium Freyja® toiletries, anti-fog mirrors and heated floors.
“Bathrooms are superb, even at the lowest category, with glassed-in showers, sleek styling, plenty of storage, Freyja toiletries and—the biggest indulgence of all—heated tile floors and towel racks.”- Cruise Critic
Abundant Dining Options
We offer eight onboard dining options—all with no additional charge or fee. Our ocean vessels put the spotlight on fine dining in The Restaurant, which serves the widest selection of culinary options. Our alternative restaurants, The Chef's Table and Manfredi's Italian Restaurant, feature regional cuisine and specialty dishes. Plus, we offer the most al fresco dining at sea.
“Dining here is a culinary journey—a marriage of cultural enrichment, gastronomic exploration and local cuisine.”- Cruise Critic
