Creator's Key Takeaways

We've cruised with Viking more than once — and there's a reason we keep coming back!

The rooms are welldesigned and comfortable. The bathrooms are roomy for a cruise ship with a walledin glass shower and sufficient sink and storage space in the bathrooms.

Viking is definitely not a party ship and does not have any casinos or nightclubs.

We found the dining options to be very good to excellent.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a veranda room for a guaranteed balcony experience.
Take advantage of the included excursions focused on history, culture, or natural experiences.
Use the free self-service laundry on longer cruises.

Cost compared to mass market cruisesWhile the base cost is higher, the all-inclusive nature and comfort justify the price for those seeking a relaxing, enrichment-focused cruise.
