The Viking difference
When most cruise lines are building bigger ships, Viking Cruises provides a thoughtful, authentic and well-designed small ship experience that brings you closer to the world’s cultures. The ‘Viking difference’ is used to identify what sets them apart from other cruise lines, all the things that Viking doesn't offer — because Viking's aim is to provide more of what you really need and less of what you don’t.
