Destination Driven Cruises Around the World

Viking Cruises focuses on creating a destination driven cruise so whether you are onboard or onshore, you are immersed in culture of your destination. Onboard you will find local dishes offered in The Restaurant, Destination Performances, which highlight iconic local arts, as well as lectures about the port you are visiting. Onshore, you can enjoy learning about the destination through local hosts, visiting cultural treasures with tours that are exclusively offered on Viking, as well as visiting places such as vineyards in Italy or cheese makers in Holland to experiencing local work life.

Included Shore Excursion

When you book a Viking cruise, you automatically get one of the Viking cruise shore excursions included, guaranteeing you always have something exciting to do in port. But if you’re eager to explore even more, they offer a range of additional shore excursions for an extra fee.

Planning Ahead for the Best Excursions

Head over to Viking cruise’s My Viking Journey and browse through all the available options before your shore excursion booking window opens. This way, you can select the excursions that catch your eye in advance. Being prepared means you’ll have a better chance of securing the excursions you really want before they fill up.

Learn About Your Destination for an Enriched Cruising Experience

Before you set sail, make sure to visit Viking’s Video Programing. Here, you can dive deeper into your upcoming destinations, get to know the ship you’ll be traveling on, and discover some fascinating history about the areas you’ll be exploring.

Extend Your Vacation with a Pre or Post Excursion

Why not consider extending your cruise experience with a pre or post-cruise extension? These fantastic options allow you to continue enjoying the exceptional service of Viking Cruises on land. This gives you even more time to discover new destinations and create unforgettable memories.

Essentials for your Viking Experience

Lastly, don’t forget to pack essentials for your adventure. Make sure to bring along comfortable, well-worn walking shoes, your own headphones for tours (although Viking provides them, bringing your own set might enhance your experience), and breathable clothing such as hiking pants or a smartwool shirt. These items will ensure you’re fully prepared for all the adventures that await you on your Viking cruise!
