Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Viking Cruises different?

Viking focuses on cultural enrichment rather than entertainment. Ships are smaller, itineraries are destination-focused with included excursions, and the atmosphere is sophisticated yet relaxed. No casinos, no kids, no upselling.

Are Viking river cruises worth the price?

Absolutely. When you factor in included excursions ($100+ per port), wine/beer with meals, Wi-Fi, and gratuities, Viking offers exceptional value. Plus, their European river routes visit cities larger ships cannot reach.

Can I book Viking cruises from Newark?

Yes! We arrange your entire journey including flights from Newark Airport, pre/post hotel stays, and transfers to the ship. Most Viking cruises embark from European or coastal U.S. cities.
