Two Fleets, One Unified Experience
Explore the Viking Rivers & Oceans
Viking offers two distinct but equally enriching experiences. Their award-winning Longships navigate the world's great rivers with fewer than 200 guests, while their identical ocean vessels carry just 930 guests to destinations worldwide. Both fleets share the same Scandinavian design philosophy, destination-focused approach, and commitment to cultural enrichment.
River Longships

Ocean Ships
All-veranda staterooms with serene Scandinavian spa and small-ship luxury
