Mississippi Viking river cruise

Viking

River, Ocean & Expedition Cruises Worldwide

In the first century AD, the Vikings, world-class navigators, explored the oceans, reaching the British Isles and even the North American continent. Perhaps in the tradition of the Vikings, and 20 centuries later, Viking River Cruises established its U.S. headquarters and instantly became a major cruising force.

Appealing to travelers looking for culturally immersive experiences and well-priced value, Viking’s river cruises offer a quality mid-range product.  The all-inclusive pricing, typical of river cruise vacations, includes comfortable accommodations, intimate ships, good cuisine featuring regional specialties and sourced locally, wine, beer, and soft drinks at lunch and dinner, and daily guided shore excursions.

Viking Ocean

Very well designed smaller ships with plenty of bells and whistles including Scandinavian-style spa with  snow room! The cruise price is inclusive of beverages at lunch and dinner, there’s free wi-fi access, and select shore excursions are complimentary. (Premium shore excursions are optionally available.) Average time spent in ports of call are 12 hours or more. The all-balcony, spacious Scandinavian-designed staterooms and large bathrooms provide contemporary and comfortable pleasing accommodations at a spacious 270 square feet, with 42-inch TVs with movies on demand. In the evening, the dining room can offer open air dining or indoor dining. Alternative dining venues offer a variety of additional complimentary choices. There are two pools, one with a retractable roof for use in less than perfect weather, and the other an infinity pool.

Viking River

Viking’s river destinations include cruises along the rivers of Europe, Russia, Ukraine, China, Southeast Asia, Egypt and the USA. Discover the Far East with a fascinating cruise tour along the Yangtze River, or Mekong River. Take in the European countryside along the Danube, Rhine, Seine, Elbe, or Douro. Cruise the Mississippi. Staterooms include comfortable beds with European duvets and linens; bottled water, bathrobes, and slippers; TVs with CNN, CNBC, and ESPN; and wireless internet. Select from accommodations with a picture window, a French balcony with sliding glass door, or a suite with your own veranda.

Viking Expedition

The delights of  a Viking voyage meets the thrills of taking the road less traveled on Viking Expedition cruises to the Great Lakes, Antarctica and the Arctic.  You’ll find these based on destinations you wish to cruise. There is more than just research on Viking’s expedition cruise ships. There’s an auditorium, terrace, infinity pool, spa, fitness center, and regional and international cuisine. Staterooms have a Nordic balcony that feature floor-to-ceiling glass. Ranging in size from 222 square feet to 1,223 square feet, staterooms also have a drying closet to dry expedition gear and clothes. Expedition equipment includes a Zodiac fleet, Arctic-tested kayaks, convertible Rigid Inflatable Boats, and submarines. Gear, such as boots, waterproof pants, binoculars, snowshoes, and skis, is provided to guests.

Trip was fantastic. I feel Viking was over the top as to attention to detail. Felt pampered for the whole trip. Meals on board were fantastic and plentiful with great selection. Thanks for all your amazing help.
