Viking Ocean Cruises operates a fleet of deliberately mid-size ships — around 930 guests — designed to visit ports that larger ships can't access while still offering the full range of dining, spa and public spaces of a full-service cruise ship. The guiding philosophy is culturally enriching travel for curious adults.
There are no children under 18 on board, no casinos and no formal dress codes — a deliberate positioning choice that defines the onboard atmosphere as calm, intellectually engaged and unhurried. Included shore excursions and pre-voyage lecture programmes prepare guests for what they'll see.
Viking Ocean deploys across Scandinavia, the Mediterranean, the North Atlantic and world cruise routes, with an increasing presence in expedition itineraries to the Arctic and Antarctica.
