Viking cruises originated on the rivers of Europe in 1997, the vision of Norwegian Torstein Hagen who wanted to share his love of being on the water.
Expanding to the Nile, the Mekong, the Ganges and the Mississippi, and with 90 odd river boats Viking river cruises really has been the leader in this industry.
As the major pioneer of river cruising in Europe Viking boasts grandfather rights, allowing them to dock centrally for your convenience.
You can sail year-round on vessels designed for the rivers they ply to offer you an up close experience of these destinations,
In 2015 Viking launched their first ocean going ships and this fleet has now expanded to 12 elegant ships sailing the world’s oceans.
With fewer than 10,000 passengers these ships are spacious and comfortable, yet the passenger numbers are low enough to be welcomed worldwide.
Cruise the globe in comfort and style – every summer Viking visits several Australian ports and close to home sailings are popular.
Sail the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, the Americas, and Asia.
In 2022 Viking launched expedition voyages with the arrival of their 398 passenger polar ships.
Now covering all seven continents, explore the Arctic and Antarctic, traverse the globe and learn from the wonderful scientists on board.
Viking have developed a global brand for ‘the thinking traveller’ with no kids and no casinos.
The fleets are consistent so you can rely on the quality you received globally.
While sailing with Viking just about everything is included – great value for a wonderful experience.
At Travelling Places, we have first-hand experience of these ships and would be delighted to help you design a wonderful journey of your own.
For nearly 30 years Viking has perfected its style of travel and with so many repeat clients you know the experience is excellent.
