At Viking, curiosity is in our DNA. So we’ve made exploring an art form. Our modern fleet and dedicated crew take you deeper into the world’s greatest destinations, offering a new level of comfort and contentment for true explorer spirits.
We’re all born to be explorers. Curiosity is in our DNA. From the first moment we open our eyes, we look towards the future. Over centuries, we’ve pursued this quest, finding new ways to push further, to see and feel what’s beyond reach.
As the world’s greatest explorers, at Viking we’ve honed our craft, making the path to discovery less “travelled” and offering comfort and contentment for curious minds.
It’s an art form, yes. But it runs deeper than that. It’s in our blood.
Our dedicated crew care more deeply, and our modern state-of-the-art ships are a sanctuary of comfort with a multitude of spaces for relaxing quietly and contently as you reflect on days spent exploring the history, culture and cuisine of your destination.
With Viking, the coastlines of the Mediterranean, Scandinavia and Asia, the rivers of Europe, Egypt and the USA or the pristine wilderness of the Arctic and Antarctica are within your reach.
Embrace your true explorer spirit with offers across a collection of ocean, river and expedition voyages. And for a limited time, we’ll provide a helping hand to get you there with up to AU$2,000 flight credit per couple on new 2024 or 2025 ocean bookings made before 28 August 2023.
Join us, and we’ll show you the heart of exploring.
