"Since we left Porto, we’ve spent a few days sailing the Douro River towards Spain. At one point, one side of the Douro is Portugal and one side is Spain, complete with the one hour time difference. We’ve learnt about Port and about history but, mainly, we have drunk in the scenery and the Viking hospitality."
—Guest recently on our 10-day Portugal's River of Gold itinerary.

Our story
We travel to explore, to learn, to understand. At Viking, we believe travel should be more than just a trip - it should be a doorway to cultural insight and personal enrichment. That’s why our intimate, inclusive cruise itineraries are designed to help you explore nuances of your destination: its food, culture, people and customs.
Small Ship Experts
On a Viking river ship, you will sail into the heart of your destination, so you can explore up close and in depth. Our innovative, award-winning Viking Longships have set the standard in river cruising: our intimate vessels have all the amenities of a fine hotel, providing the ideal opportunity to travel to a new destination each day, where enriching discoveries are usually just a short walk from your ship.
We’re proud to be different
Aboard Viking’s elegant ocean ships, with just 930 guests, you will enjoy serene Scandinavian design, spacious verandas with every stateroom, Nordic spa facilities and a wide range of dining venues. Our ships are designed with understated elegance, and because of their size they can dock centrally. We cruise right up the river Thames, and we dock a mere five minute stroll from historic centres like Stockholm and Barcelona.
No Kids, No Casinos
You will not find casinos, ship photographers, waterslides or children on board Viking’s elegant ocean ships. When most cruise lines are building bigger and more over-the-top ships, Viking provides a thoughtful and well-designed small ship experience, bringing guests closer to the world’s cultures.
We make sure it’s all included
