Viking carries forward this legacy of exploration while embracing modern technology and comfort. Our ships feature traditional Norwegian craftsmanship and natural materials, allowing guests to experience Nordic aesthetics throughout their journey.

We believe your ship should be more than transportation—it should be a place of relaxation and enrichment as you voyage between ports. The cultural experiences ashore combined with refined moments onboard will create memories that last a lifetime.
