Shore Excursions

Viking Mars offers every traveler one free excursion per port of call. These tours often embody destination highlights and are given by English-speaking guides. A typical excursion will bring you through historical or unique highlights and give you free time to spend however you'd like.

In addition to complimentary excursions, the cruise ship also offers specialized for-fee tours that may take guests a little deeper into various topics. They are generally cheaper than for-fee excursions found elsewhere. All tours are enhanced with QuietVox audio systems so everyone can hear the guide.

Onboard Enrichment

Viking Mars hosts an incredible variety of onboard enrichment that can supplement the shore excursions or teach travelers something new. Port conversations are usually in-depth and focus deeply on the destination's history and traditions. Lectures also tend to fall hand-in-hand with excursions and can help guests gain a deeper appreciation for the places visited. TED Talks are available in the cinema, as well as on-demand in a stateroom.
