Viking FAQs
Does it cost more to book Viking through a travel advisor?
No. In most cases you pay the same price as booking directly with Viking. Our planning help is free, and we’ll help you compare itineraries, watch for offers and support you if anything changes.
What’s the difference between Viking river, ocean and expedition cruises?
River cruises use small longships to sail into the heart of cities and towns. Ocean voyages use small ocean ships to reach coastal destinations around the world. Expeditions take you to remote places like Antarctica, the Arctic and the Great Lakes with scientists and specialized gear. We’ll help you decide which style suits you best.
What’s included in a Viking cruise?
Viking fares typically include your stateroom, all onboard meals, a shore excursion in most ports, Wi-Fi, and beer and wine with lunch and dinner. Ocean voyages also include specialty restaurants and spa thermal suite access. We’ll confirm exactly what’s included for your itinerary.
Can I take a Viking cruise near St. Louis?
Yes. Viking’s Mississippi River cruises sail between New Orleans and St. Paul, and some itineraries stop right here in St. Louis. It’s a great way to try Viking without flying overseas. Ask us about current dates and itineraries.
