Book your future travels with confidence.

There is nothing quite like the feeling of planning a holiday — the excitement of researching unique destinations, the thrill of fitting each segment of your itinerary together like pieces of an intricate jigsaw puzzle, the anticipation of what you might learn and experience throughout your journey.

Just because your ability to travel is on hold for the moment, your travel planning doesn’t have to be. In fact, with the luxury of a little bit of extra downtime on your hands, now is the perfect opportunity to begin mapping out your future adventures.

Need some inspiration? Throughout the following pages, you will find a collection of our favourite Viking voyages, as well as a range of exclusive offers for our 2021 and 2022 itineraries. Brighter days are on the horizon, and when you are ready to set sail again, we will be ready to explore the world with you.

So, whether you have always dreamed of wandering through the historic, fjordrimmed cities of Scandinavia; keeping watch for wildlife frolicking across the bluetinged, icy landscapes of the Arctic; or immersing yourself in the treasured traditions of eastern European culture with those who call the region home; keep looking ahead.

Your journey starts today.

SMALL SHIPS WITH

A BIG DIFFER ENCE The world has changed in ways that we never could have imagined, and the way in which we choose to explore it has never been more important.

On board one of our award-winning ships, you won’t find any children, casinos or crowds. Instead, you will be greeted by serene, open spaces filled with natural light, as well as alfresco dining areas and chic staterooms complete with private verandas.

You will also notice subtle, stylish nods to our Scandinavian heritage — from the slate, teak and limestone accents to the colourful rugs, tapestries and window treatments.

FINSE TERRACE ON VIKING EXPEDITION SHIPS

Our streamlined, state-of-the-art vessels are designed to take you right into the heart of each destination, with the ability to dock in ports that are inaccessible to larger ships.

Of course, smaller ships also means fewer passengers — our ocean cruises cater for 930 guests, our expedition cruises can carry 378 guests and our Viking Longships cruise Europe’s rivers with a maximum of 190 guests on board. In other words, there is plenty of room for you to move around and enjoy a few quiet moments to yourself, whether you choose to go for a stroll around the open-air walking track while taking in the spectacular scenery of your new destination or soak up some vitamin D on the Sun Deck.

Did we mention that a Viking cruise fare includes just about everything you could ever need? Think onboard meals served with premium beverages, unlimited Wi-Fi and at least one enriching shore excursion in every port of call.

This is all part of what we like to call the Viking difference.

TOP 11 TR AV EL DESTINATIONS F O R 2021 & 2022

1. New Orleans, United States Whether it is a festival or a parade, there is some sort of celebration taking place almost every day of the week in New Orleans. The local cuisine is a unique mix of Caribbean, African and European in�uences, and the live music scene is arguably one of the best in the world.

2. Tromsø, Norway Surrounded by dramatic snow-dusted landscapes and sparkling turquoise fjords, Tromsø is Norway’s gateway to the Arctic. During winter, it also happens to be one of the best destinations in Scandinavia to witness the magical Aurora Borealis dancing in the sky.

3. Lisbon, Portugal Charming cobblestone alleyways, glossy tiled facades and breathtaking seaside views make Portugal’s capital positively picture-perfect — and 10

the vibrant food scene is equally as alluring. Think warm, velvety custard tarts and an endless supply of delicious, freshly caught seafood.

4. St. Petersburg, Russia From the sprawling Hermitage Museum to the opulent Mariinsky Theatre, Russia’s dynamic capital is an unrivalled treasure trove of art and culture. For lovers of history, ballet, opera and architecture, St. Petersburg is a must-see.

VANCOUVER, CANADA

8. Napier, New Zealand Thanks to a unique concentration of art deco facades and streetscapes, Napier has a distinct Great Gatsby feel to it. Nestled in picturesque Hawke’s Bay, here you will find some of regional New Zealand’s best restaurants and wineries.

STATE HERMITAGE MUSEUM, ST. PETERSBURG, RUSSIA

BLUE-FOOTED BOOBY, GALÁPAGOS

9. Buenos Aires, Argentina Argentina’s capital is a feast for the senses, with its colourful neighbourhoods, intoxicating melodies of the tango and diverse cuisine. Take in the vibrant street art, stroll through the lively parks and plazas surrounded by European-style architecture, and mingle with the welcoming locals.

10. Galápagos Islands, Ecuador This isolated group of volcanic islands is one of the most ecologically wondrous destinations on the planet. Get an up-close look at seals, giant tortoises, dolphins, iguanas, flamingos, whales, penguins, hawks and hundreds of other exotic species.

11. Budapest, Hungary From fascinating history and flamboyant architecture to healing thermal springs and a dynamic performing arts scene, Hungary’s exciting capital has something to satisfy every traveller.

VIKING RECIPE

F R E N C H O N IO N S O U P As the weather starts to cool down, this hearty classic soup will warm you up.

Melt butter in large cast-iron casserole dish or oven-safe skillet over medium-low heat; add onions and sugar; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes or until onions are soft but have not yet started to turn golden. Uncover pan, increase heat slightly and continue to cook, stirring regularly until onions are rich caramel colour, 10-15 minutes. Whisk in flour until well blended; gradually add wine and cook, whisking constantly, until mixture boils and thickens. Whisk in broth and pepper; bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 15 minutes. Ladle soup into six 11⁄ 2-cup oven-proof bowls. Top each with bread slice; sprinkle with cheeses. Place bowls on baking sheet and place under the grill until cheese melts and bubbles.

INGREDIENTS • ¼ cup unsalted butter • 6 med brown onions, sliced • 1 tsp sugar • 1 tbsp flour • 1 cup dry white wine • 4 cup beef broth or stock • Pepper to taste • 6 (½ inch thick) slices day-old French bread • 2 cup grated Swiss cheese • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
