THE SMALL SHIP EXPERTS<br />
Viking takes you closer to the heart of places you want to explore<br />
AFTER LEADING THE RIVER CRUISE INDUSTRYfor more than two decades, we have refined<br />
the small ship sailing experience for our guests. Now we have taken that same small ship,<br />
destination-focused experience to the seas and redefined ocean cruising as our elegant vessels<br />
sail through Scandinavia and Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, Australia and<br />
New Zealand, Asia, Alaska, North and South America, Africa—and beyond. And because we<br />
own and operate our ships, we deliver a seamless, consistent experience, from the banks of the<br />
Amazon to Adriatic shores.<br />
ON A VIKING SHIP,you will sail into the heart of your destination, so you can explore up close<br />
and in depth. The size of our vessels—with just 930 guests—gives us greater maneuverability,<br />
allowing us to dock where the mega-liners that dominate the world’s ports today cannot. From<br />
our prime, central berths in the world’s great cities such as Venice, London, Hong Kong and Sydney,<br />
and in seldom-visited ports like Kotor, Montenegro and Scotland’s Shetland Islands, enriching<br />
cultural discoveries are just a short walk from your ship.<br />
We design our itineraries to allow you to spend more time in port, with overnight stays in<br />
virtually all ports of embarkation and disembarkation. With fewer days at sea, you will have ample<br />
time to immerse yourself in each destination.<br />
No other cruise line brings you so close to your destination’s doorstep. And no one else helps you<br />
uncover so much about a culture and its beauty while you are there.<br />
“Overall, the general ambience brings to mind<br />
a boutique hotel that emphasizes design<br />
but not at the expense of comfort.”<br />
– Carolyn Spencer Brown, Editor in Chief, Cruise Critic<br />
“Viking has taken the best elements of its river<br />
product and brought them to the high seas.”<br />
– Sherri Eisenberg, Yahoo! Travel<br />
