Questions
What Viking Ocean Cruises actually costs
These rates apply fleetwide across Viking Ocean Cruises.
Unlike most mainstream lines, Viking Ocean Cruises folds crew gratuities into the ticket price — so a fare that looks expensive next to a budget line may not be.
Gratuities included; Viking also includes Wi-Fi, beer/wine at lunch and dinner, and one shore excursion per port.
Published rates, not a quote. Cruise pricing changes frequently — confirm with the cruise line before booking.
