THE VIKING DIFFERENCE

It does not matter if you have cruised before or if this is your first-time bucket list experience, if you want something completely diƚerent, Viking has it in spades.

Viking is a family owned and operated business and originally focused on river cruising in Europe. They started with 4 ships in 1997 and now have a fleet of over 80 ships, being the largest small ship ocean cruise line in the world.

If there is a waterway anywhere in the world, chances are Viking cruise on it. Viking have recently included the USA, Egypt and Asia in its list of amazing river cruise itinerarie­s. Ocean cruising is relatively new with their first ship launched in 2015. Since then, Viking Ocean cruising has gone from strength to strength, and they are now about to add Expedition cruises to their comprehens­ive list of ocean destinatio­ns. Imagine cruising from Ushuaia, Argentina, to Antarctica up to Rio, de Janeiro, Brazil in Chile or the wonderful Chilean Fjords from Santiago to Ushuaia, spectacula­r.

Viking ships cater for no more than 930 passengers. All cabins have Scandinavi­an inspired interiors, and each has its own balcony. There are no inside cabins.

There are many inclusions such as free wifi, no formal nights, no charge for alternativ­e restaurant­s, a shore excursion in every port, self service laundries and gratuities to name a few, the list goes on. Viking think of everything and with no children under the age of 18 it is truly an adult only cruise.

Viking River Cruises oƚer the same first-class service oƚered on their ocean going ships, which marry beautifull­y with their spacious cabins, al fresco dining options and fabulous food. With exceptiona­l itinerarie­s on oƚer you can transition between a river to ocean cruise or vice versa should you feel so inclined.

There is so very much more to Viking so we invite you along to hear more from Steve who will wow us with his pictures and presentati­on. The fact that Viking has an incredible repeat client ratio speaks for itself.
