Viking Australia and New Zealand Managing Director Michelle Black said the extended ocean voyages provided plenty of reason for travellers wishing to travel The Viking Way. Longer ocean voyages make travelling for longer periods accessible, offering a relaxing pace and allowing guests time to explore and enjoy the amenities Viking ships have to offer.
“Longer itineraries can vary, but the ones that offer real value generally have fewer port stops and more time at sea, making these types of journeys perfect for relaxing or providing the time needed to explore the amenities and activities of the ship before reaching their next destination,” she said.
“Many of our guests value the additional time they get on the ship to relax and enjoy themselves, so Viking focuses on onboard cultural enrichment programs, performances and Nordic wellness within the elegant surroundings of our ship’s serene Scandinavian spaces.”
“Our onboard offering includes a cultural enrichment program hosted by guest lecturers and Viking Resident Historians, Munch Moments and Nordic art collection, musical performances, theatre, cooking classes and sommelier-hosted wine tastings, a library curated by Heywood Hill and seven options for destination-focused dining. Our pools, Nordic spa sanctuary and state-of-the-art fitness centre offer the ultimate in onboard relaxation.”
For the traveller looking for a cruise option, some ask what value is there in choosing a repositioning cruise ie fares; inclusions; multiple destinations to explore or time to chill and luxuriate?
The answer is this, the cost per day is less, so these itineraries are a more affordable way to experience Viking.
Viking All Inclusive offers guests the chance to step on board with nothing more to pay including beer, wine and soft drink with lunch and dinner, with specialty teas, coffee, and filtered water offered all day. The Nordic spa and fitness centre is free for all guests to use. Wi-Fi, gratuities and all port charges are also included.
Some travellers value the additional time on the ship to relax so Viking onboard offerings are as important as its destination ports.
