Destination-Focused Voyages by River and Ocean
There is no better way to explore the oceans and rivers of the world than aboard one of Viking’s elegant small ships, and there is no better way to plan it than with an expert travel agent. Viking creates destination-focused voyages by river and ocean on all seven continents, and each of these journeys is designed for The Thinking Person.™ When you book through our travel agency, you receive personalized guidance, professional advocacy and access to exclusive value.
Award-Winning River and Ocean Cruising
Viking has been named #1 for Rivers and #1 for Oceans in the Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards for five consecutive years. Their modern river ships dock in the heart of Europe’s great cities while their state-of-the-art ocean vessels sail globally with longer stays and immersive itineraries. Every voyage is designed to prioritize culture, history and meaningful connection.
Unpack Once and Explore Deeply
Viking allows you to unpack once and explore more. River voyages bring you directly into historic town centers while ocean voyages provide extended time in port and quieter-season opportunities. The result is deeper immersion with fewer crowds and more meaningful access.
Examples of immersive experiences:
- Explore Roman Provence at Les Arènes d’Arles and the Pont du Gard
- Sail the Rhine past 900-year-old castles and Austria’s Wachau Valley
- Visit the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City with fewer crowds in the off-season
- Discover Barcelona’s Basílica de la Sagrada Família at a relaxed pace
We ensure you understand what each itinerary includes and how to maximize your time ashore.

Culture Through Cuisine and Wine
A great joy of travel lies in sampling the fresh fare and culinary traditions for which a place is known. Locally sourced ingredients — such as Dutch gouda, Hungarian paprika and Spanish jamón — inspire Viking’s highly trained chefs to create authentic regional dishes on every itinerary. And Viking’s thoughtful wine list enhances your meal, with handpicked selections and onboard tastings that showcase an area’s quintessential varietals.
