Award-Winning Pedigree

Viking Ocean continues the tradition of excellence found in her sister company Viking River Cruises, proven by the slew of awards and accolades by a variety of organizations. For instance, Viking was placed on the Condé Nast Traveler's Reader's Choice Awards as "#1 for Rivers, #1 for Oceans, and #1 for Expeditions" in 2023 and 2024, as well as Travel + Leisure's "World's Best" in 2024, marking 20 years of recognition since 2004. Viking was also named #1 for "Best Customer Service for Cruise Operators" by Newsweek Magazine in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.

Deep Cultural Enrichment

Viking Ocean Cruises are centered around where you go, not just how you get there. You don’t simply travel to ports of call; you experience them. From onboard lectures that prepare you for what you will see the next day to learning demonstrations of local traditions to interacting with and following a local guide expert as you explore every area of your destination, you are fully immersed in culture, heritage, and history.

Unmatched Dining Options

On Viking Ocean Cruises, all restaurants and dining rooms are completely free. Whether it be the elegant main dining room or one of the many individual specialty restaurants, you can eat wherever you desire without incurring extra costs. For those seeking a little more "hands-on experience," Viking Ocean Cruises offers you the option of taking part in the Kitchen Table, where you can accompany the chef on a shopping trip in port before assisting with the preparation of your meal or learn to cook regional cuisine that reflects your destination.
