Viking river cruises have the reputation of being amongst the leaders within their field. Their star quality, excellent service and attention to detail is what they are most proud of.
Their ships, Viking Star and Viking Sky hold 928 passengers and at 48,000 GRT are small ships which as you know will be able to visit more interesting and unusual ports within their itineraries.
However thier river cruise ships only have approximately between 106 -190 passengers, how will they fair with accomodating 928 passengers? Where will their crew come from? All other ocean cruise lines have training schools where they supply waiters from all over the world who have been trained to the cruise lines standars of service, will Viking use these schools or source their crew from other cruise lines?
I am in no doubt that their service on the ocean lines will mirror their service on rivers however sometimes, when things are done on such a grander scale will their standars slip?
Included in your cruise -
All gratuities
Complimentary shore excursiosn
Wine, beer and soft drinks with lunch and dinner
24 hour speciallity coffee and teas

Swim surrounded by your destination in the glass-backed Infinity Pool cantilevered off the stern. Or experience our Main Pool, complete with a retractable roof, so you can always enjoy the perfect swim. Here, on star-filled nights, enjoy an outdoor movie as you sail under a canopy of stars. And when it is time to relax, try the ultimate Scandinavian tradition with our Snow Grotto and sauna; or a massage in The Spa.
This is luxury on a smaller scale, however as the saying goes 'the best things come in small packages'
These Viking ocean cruises will sell out rapidly and 2015/2016 sailings are availble now. If this is of interest let me know and maybe you could be one of the first so sample this fantastic ocean cruise.
