Viking Named “World Best” For Oceans, Rivers and Expeditions

Viking Cruises have once again been named World Best Small-ship Ocean Cruise Lines of 2024 in Travel + Leisure’s World Best Awards. This is the second year in a row Viking has come out on top of the list with the 189-cabin expedition style ships which deliver on all the comforts found on traditional ships. In addition to being crowned the World Best Small ship, Viking was also voted number one for Oceans, Rivers and Expeditions by the readers of Conde Nast Traveller. 

The smaller expedition Viking ships are light-filled spaces where comfort meets discovery, featuring more indoor and outdoor viewing areas to make sure guests are as close as possible to some of the most magnificent scenery on earth. Guests not only voted Viking world best for their onboard services but also the off-ship exploration opportunities and science focus talks with discussions on wildlife, the ocean and other relevant science topics.  

While traveling with Viking guests enjoy the calming and relaxed atmosphere with classic Scandinavian style throughout and hotel-like comfort while onboard complete with ample space, and premium bath products creating the perfect retreat while traveling. From the Nordic Spa that features a traditional Badestamp hot tub – perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploration, to comfortable lounge spaces with floor-to-ceiling windows that maximize views so you won’t miss a thing. The outdoor areas of the ships are just as impressive with al fresco dining around a “fire pit” and three different temperature pools, both from which guests can admire the surrounding wilderness.
