VIKING OCEAN CRUISES 2018-2020
1 2 For more information visit us at vikingcruises.co.uk Explore in Viking comfort
In Norway they call it koselig. In Denmark, hygge. At Viking we simply call it comfort. And we believe it’s the only way to explore the world. Comfort is knowing that you are completely cared for in every way. It’s a glass of wine under a starlit sky. Good food in the company of good people. Comfort is savouring the present moment. It’s a genuine smile from someone who cares. And connecting to the wonder of the world, whether it’s the view from a mountain top or the bustle of a local market. It’s a feeling of contentment and wellbeing. And a feeling of reassurance that you’re getting the very best value for money. Above all, comfort is togetherness, a generosity of spirit and a very real sense of belonging. Come and explore the world in comfort with us.

Stylish, sophisticated and enlightening, a Viking cruise is like no other. It’s a journey that is full of surprises, and it starts the moment you step on board.
Every Viking ocean ship is large enough to offer all the facilities you could wish for, yet intimate enough to wrap you in comfort. Its smaller size enables you to sail into destinations inaccessible to other vessels and once there you can enjoy more time to explore, and more overnights too. You can also enjoy a complimentary excursion in every port, as well as a choice of optional excursions, offering something for everyone.
Fabulous dining is a highlight of your cruise, with a choice of superb restaurants, all of which are included. Indeed, value is something you can take for granted on a Viking cruise. All those pleasures that are an essential part of your cruise experience – a great cup of coffee, a beer with lunch, wine with dinner, a visit to the spa, logging on to check your emails, and room service – are all free. A cruise should be about the finer things, and with Viking they’re all included. Which is also why every stateroom has its own private veranda. Whichever room you choose, you can relax outside and take in the views.
Viking’s service doesn’t just come with a smile, it comes with award-winning credentials. At the end of the day – and the beginning too, it’s all about you. And that’s why our guests choose to travel with us, time and again. There is another thing that distinguishes us from other cruise lines; there are no children on board.
Come and discover the Viking difference for yourself.

Th e World Café
Discover flavours of the east in Copenhagen, the tastes of Tuscany in Sydney, and the freshest sushi in the Amazon jungle. Morning, noon and night, explore a world of taste at The World Café. A celebration of foods that make us different, but also bring us together.
Th e Restaurant
Breakfast and dinner, welcome to The Restaurant. One of the finest restaurants you’ll find. Anywhere. Where the daily changing menus complement the daily changing views. And where you can feast on traditional favourites as well as local specialties, all perfectly prepared and presented.
Manfredi’s
Long, laughter-filled dinners don’t get better than those in Manfredi’s, the Italian grill restaurant. Traditional Tuscan and Roman cuisine (think perfectly cooked steaks, fresh seafood, handmade pastas and an overflowing antipasto trolley) in a warm, contemporary setting. Buon Appetito!
Th e Chef’s Table
Executive Chef Anthony Mamboussin’s dining concept has been impressing guests on every cruise. Five courses, each with a wine pairing, follow a specific theme. Venice Carnival. Sweet and Sour. Asian Panorama. It’s a whole new world of discovery. Mamsen’s
In the Nordic deli, feast on waffles laden with fresh blueberries and cream or gjetjost, Norway’s sweet nutty cheese. Or tuck into pancakes covered in cloudberry jam or glistening with lemon and sugar. Flipping marvellous.
24 Th e Wintergarden
A good afternoon. A comfy sofa in The Wintergarden. Sandwiches, cakes and scones, and a pot of your favourite blend of tea. The light and airy surroundings and the striking blonde wooden canopy are as delicious as the cream teas.
Th e Pool Grill
When stepping in for lunch is a step too far, tuck into a tasty snack at the Pool Grill. Classic, American-style sandwiches, burgers and hot dogs always hit the spot. Pile on the mustard, dress with pickles, slaw and sauces and wash it down with an ice-cold beer or crisp white wine. Lap it up, it’s all included.
Private dining
Because it’s a special occasion. Or just because. Book your table in one of the private dining rooms at Manfredi’s of The Chef’s Table. An intimate setting made even more personal.
Alfresco dining
There is nothing like dining in the great outdoors. Big sky. Setting sun and a chance to drink in the fresh air, as well as the views. Step out of The World Café onto The Aquavit Terrace. Breakfast, lunch and dinner, it is everything you want relaxed dining to be.
24-hour room service
Breakfast in bed. Lunch on your private veranda. Late night nibbles. Enjoy room service at any time, without paying any more.
Cheers!
As the day dies down and the evening begins, while away an hour or two with your favourite people and favourite tipple in Paps, the Explorers’ Bar. Imbibe in a brandy blended in the year of your birth in Torshavn nightclub. Or indulge in a cocktail by the pool that will leave you stirred, not shaken. On board, there’s a great choice of bars, all serving drinks at prices that won’t give you a headache.
25 Pay no more to explore more
