The Benefits of Small-Ship Cruising
Viking carries a fleet of smaller vessels. The ships allow travellers to access ports and harbours that are exclusive to yachts and ships of this size – and that’s the beauty of them! When you cruise the Mediterranean with Viking, you’ll be off on a spectacular local adventure almost every day… meanwhile, those larger cruise ships will be forced to anchor offshore. Because small ships can enter the heart of any destination, and in the Mediterranean? That’s where you’ll often find the most rewarding travel experiences. Explore cultures at their core. Taste dishes from the very places they were conceived.
Another benefit to these smaller vessels is their capability to craft a far more intimate and personalised onboard experience. Cruise-lovers will enjoy spaces with fewer crowds and a level of service that could only be achieved with a lower number of guests.
We can assure you that Viking offers several fantastic itineraries that cruise the Mediterranean and highlight the very heart of each destination. Explore the Western Mediterranean and visit Barcelona, Monte Carlo, and Rome. Keep it simple and visit Athens, Troy, and Istanbul. Or introduce Malta and Morocco so you can see as much as possible on your trip.
Complimentary Shore Excursion In Every Port
We can all agree that shore excursions are a vital part of any cruise experience. However, this is especially true when you cruise the Mediterranean. Enhance your immersion into any Mediterranean destination with insightful cultural experiences. On a Mediterranean Viking voyage, travellers can delve into Catalonian and Tuscan art, admire architecture and history during overnights in Barcelona and Tuscany. Reconnect with nature in the Calanques National Park. Or visit Monte Carlo, Monaco’s glamorous city by the sea. There is truly something for everyone with Viking.
One of the many things that makes this cruise line stand out from the rest is the complimentary shore excursions in every port. This is a brilliant and generous addition to Viking’s offering that helps travellers make the most of each destination visited. Contact one of our Flat Beds Tour + Cruise Specialists to find the itinerary that is best suited to you, both on and off shore.
Unmissable Enrichment Lectures & Performances
Shore excursions aren’t the only way to get the most out of every destination visited. Viking also offers a range of lectures, entertainment, and other unique experiences. You’re sure to walk away from each with unforgettable memories and a newfound appreciation for your port of call. So, what’s on offer? You can sit in on world-class lecturers and resident historians. You can even be amazed by brilliant destination performances and cooking classes that highlight delicious local dishes. Viking promises complete immersion into the cultures and practices of any location visited across the Mediterranean.
Are you someone who values in-depth exploration into a destination’s art history, architectural feats, music traditions, and more? Speak to one of our consultants. They can find the itinerary that perfectly suits your interests with enrichment activities that complement it perfectly – so you can make the most of your time onboard.
Embrace The Kids-Free Life
Kids are a factor that can make or break a decision when it comes to picking who to cruise with. Be it families who want to take children or adults who want to avoid them entirely. If you’re among those who are after a stress-free holiday… Viking enforces a no-kids policy.
This might seem like a controversial (albeit increasingly popular) policy. However, this makes them the perfect cruise line for those who live a kid-free lifestyle. As well as parents who want to have a week or so to themselves!
