Creator's Key Takeaways

We are the largest fleet of small cruise ships. We are a household name.

We truly believe that the destination should remain the destination.

All ports include a shore excursion.

✓Use CAA member benefits for exclusive savings and perks.
✓Book with a travel advisor for insider tips and assistance.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Elevator availability on river ships — River ships have elevators except from the upper deck to the outside due to bridge height; sit at the front or aft if stairs are difficult.
Accommodating dietary restrictions like celiac disease — Notify your travel advisor; Viking can cater to most allergies except halal and kosher due to separate kitchen requirements.
Tipping on board — Tip about $15 per day to all staff; you can prepay gratuities in Canadian dollars prior to departure.
