Onboard Enrichment

World-Class Guest Lecturers
Complement your onshore experiences with our onboard lecture program, designed to shed light on your destination’s art, architecture, music, geopolitics, natural world and more. They are hosted by a wide range of experts, from authors and archaeologists to former diplomats and news correspondents, eager to share their knowledge with you.

Viking Resident Historians
Our faculty of historians provide an enhanced level of enrichment, delivering high-level historic, iconic lectures specific to your journey, supplemented by roundtable discussions, where you can engage in a smaller, more intimate group setting; and daily “office hours” for one-on-one time with guests.

Destination Performances
Each Viking itinerary includes one or more Destination Performances representing the most iconic cultural performing arts of the region—whether it be Portuguese fado, with its melancholy melodies and poignant lyrics; traditional Greek dancing; or Italian opera.

Port Talks
Amsterdam. Bergen. Venice. San Juan. Vancouver. Tokyo. Sydney. Gain an overview of your next day’s port of call through informative multimedia presentations covering the history and culture of your destination, as well as highlights of must-see landmarks. And feel prepared for each new day of exploration with a deeper understanding of the places you will visit.

Munch Moments
Through an exclusive relationship with Oslo’s Munch Museum, Viking has been granted the digital rights to the entire collection of Norway’s most famous artist, Edvard Munch. Our “Munch Moments” bring the magic of this master expressionist on board, with a daily, interactive event that showcases several pieces of his great art curated by theme each afternoon in the comfort of The Living Room.

TED Talks
Viking is proud to partner with TED, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization devoted to spreading bold new ideas and sparking conversation. Curious minds watch TED’s short, powerful talks focused on the arts, history, geography, science, longevity and more to gain a deeper understanding of the world. TED Talks are screened on board our ocean fleet and are also available on stateroom televisions.

The Met: Live in HD
A Peabody Award and two-time Emmy winner, the Metropolitan Opera’s Live in HD takes you beyond an ordinary visit to the opera. During this Privileged Access filmed performance under the starlit “sky” of The Theater, you will enjoy the world-class production intercut with backstage interviews, costume and set changes, and insight into technical details.

Destination Insights
Join us for a special series of short films, screening in our small cinemas and on your stateroom television, intended to inform you about the iconic destinations and little-known gems you will be visiting. This series provides insights and information intended to deepen your understanding—and enjoyment—of the time ahead, and perhaps encourage you to engage with your destinations in a way you otherwise would not have.

Viking Art & Design Guide
Should you wish to familiarize yourself with your ship before traveling, you can download our free Viking Voyager app before you go. Hear behind-the-scenes stories of our Scandinavian public spaces, with insightful commentary from your host, Karine Hagen. Once on board, you can use the app to enjoy a self-guided tour of our Nordic art collection, covering a broad spectrum of genres and eras.

Viking Resident Musicians
Bringing classical music alive, our resident pianist, guitarist, violinist and cellist perform calming classical compositions throughout the ship. We hope you will find yourself transported by the chamber music of the Viking Resident Musicians and enjoy some of the benefits of classical music—lifting your spirit, soothing your soul and adding to your onboard enrichment.

Viking Curated Libraries
Our onboard libraries were curated by Heywood Hill, an independent London bookseller and Royal Warrant holder, who dedicated hundreds of hours to understanding the unique, inquisitive nature of our guests. From art to history to destination-focused reading, each book was hand-selected to enhance your experience, both on board and at your destination.

Onshore Experiences

Local Life
Viking provides fascinating insights into Local Life during excursions that reveal the rhythms of daily living in your destination. Experience Saigon’s vibrant streets by pedal cab. Peruse the dusty stacks at the most famous bookstore in Paris. Taste your way through a culinary tour of Sydney. This is the ideal way to experience a place like a local.

Working World
Witness wood carving in Bali. Tour the vineyards and wine cellars of Italy, New Zealand and beyond. Meet the harvesters of the world’s farms, from the banana plantations of Caribbean St. Lucia to the spice farms of Indian Goa. Glimpsing the world at work helps you tap into its passions and see its people anew.

About Viking Ocean Cruises

History
Viking was founded in 1997 with the vision that travel could be more destination focused and culturally immersive.

The company expanded into the American market in 2000, establishing a sales and marketing office in Los Angeles, California. Since then, Viking has grown to a fleet of more than 90 vessels, offering river, ocean and expedition voyages on all seven continents. Viking provides destination-focused itineraries for curious travelers, with each journey including a shore excursion in every port and an onboard and onshore enrichment program that provides deep immersion in the destination through performances of music and art, cooking demonstrations, informative port talks and carefully selected guest lecturers.

With more than 450 awards to its name, Viking is a leader in the industry and was rated #1 for Rivers, #1 for Oceans (for ships sized 500 to 2,500 berths) and #1 for Expeditions by Condé Nast Traveler for the second year in a row in the 2024 Readers’ Choice Awards. This marks the first time a travel company has won these three categories in back-to-back years.

Ocean Ships and Itineraries
In 2015, Viking introduced its first ocean ship with the naming of the Viking Star, for ships under 1,000 quests, all-veranda. One year later, Viking launched its second ocean ship, the Viking Sea, which was joined by sister ship the Viking Sky in 2017, the Viking Orion in 2018, the Viking Jupiter in 2019 and the Viking Venus in 2021. Identical sister ships the Viking Mars and the Viking Neptune joined the fleet in 2022; the Viking Saturn joined in 2023.

The company’s award-winning ships are engineered at a size that allows direct access into most ports, so guests can easily and efficiently embark and disembark—allowing for more time in port. Viking’s ocean fleet features modern Scandinavian design with elegant touches, intimate spaces and attention to detail. Each ship boasts a private veranda in every stateroom, a choice of restaurants offering a variety of fine dining options, the most al fresco dining at sea, an infinity pool, a Nordic-inspired spa, the two-deck Explorers’ Lounge with panoramic views, thoughtfully curated book collections throughout the ship and more.

Ocean itineraries are designed to maximize the amount of time travelers spend in their destination. These enriching itineraries include base and combination voyages around the world—with particular focus in Scandinavia and Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, Australia and New Zealand, Asia, Alaska, North and South America and Africa.

Viking’s ocean ships have been designed to be environmentally considerate, with energy-efficient hull, propeller and rudder arrangements and engines with heat recovery systems. This allows ships to reach the best Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI)* in its class, exceeding the current International Maritime Organization (IMO) requirements by approximately 205 percent and will exceed the 2025 EEDI requirements by almost 20 percent. Additionally, Viking ships are the first newbuilds in the world with a closed-loop exhaust cleaning system designed so that pollutants can be removed and disposed of safely.
