“Time is the only scarce commodity. When you come to that realisation, I think it’s very important that you spend your time wisely. And what better way of spending time than travelling, and continuing to educate ourselves and continue to broaden our minds.” Torstein Hagen, Viking Cruises Founder and Chairman b For complete itinerary details and videos, visit vikingcruises.com.au/oceans
20 YEAR S OF DELIVER ING ON OUR PROMISES WHERE IT ALL BEGAN From the humble start in Leningrad on 5 August 1997, Viking has grown into the world’s leading river cruise line. One of the boldest moves came in 2012 with the introduction of the revolutionary Viking Longships. With more itineraries in more destinations worldwide, we offer behind-the-scenes insights that set us apart. Not long after, Viking Ocean Cruises was unveiled, bringing Viking’s award-winning river cruise philosophy to the oceans, with our first ocean ship, Viking Star, christened in 2015, followed by Viking Sea, Viking Sky, Viking Sun, Viking Spirit and another sister ship by 2019. REINVENTING OCEAN CRUISING We launched Viking Ocean Cruises to reinvent ocean cruising. Travel should be more than just a trip – it should be a doorway to cultural insight and personal enrichment. That’s why our itineraries are designed with fewer sea days and more time in port than any other cruise line – often with late evenings or overnights and thoughtfully curated shore excursions so you can immerse yourself in each destination. And just like on the rivers, we believe everything should be included. SMALL SHIP CRUISING Aboard Viking’s elegant ocean ships, with just 930 guests, you will enjoy serene Scandinavian design, spacious verandas with every stateroom, Nordic spa facilities and a wide range of dining venues. Our ships are designed with understated elegance, and because of their size they can dock centrally. We cruise right up the river Thames, and we dock a mere five minute stroll from historic centres like Stockholm and Barcelona. NO KIDS, NO CASINOS You will not find casinos, ship photographers, waterslides or children on board Viking’s elegant ocean ships. When most cruise lines are building bigger and more over-the-top ships, Viking provides a thoughtful and well-designed small ship experience, bringing guests closer to the world’s cultures. MORE AWARDS FOR VIKING We have listened to what our guests would like in a cruise. This is why, after just two years of launching, Viking Ocean Cruises dominated the 2017 Cruise Critic Cruisers’ Choice Awards, with Viking Star and Viking Sea receiving top honours in 10 categories. The June 2017 honour of being named “Best Cruise Line for Luxury Ocean Cruises” as well as “Best Luxury River Cruise Company” by the readers of Luxury Travel Advisor Magazine confirms to us we are on the right track.
