As the small ship experts, Viking is able to deliver you right to your destination’s doorstep to explore in comfort. From river ships in Europe, Southeast Asia, Egypt, and along the Mississippi to under 1,000-guest ocean ships that sail the world, Viking offers a tremendous variety of destination-focused itineraries and departures visiting popular ports and hidden gems around the world. Since the launch of Viking Expeditions and their voyages to Antarctica, the Arctic and The Great Lakes, you can now explore all seven continents. Their small ships, designed to evoke the comfort of a floating hotel, offer serene, light-filled spaces with understated elegance — this is the Viking version of modern luxury. Viking is honored to have been named #1 for Rivers and #1 for Oceans in the 2025 Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards for the fifth consecutive year in a row.
