Cruise from your doorstep to discover the best of Australia and New Zealand, or choose a voyage that takes you deep into exotic Southeast Asia, the spectacular North Pacific and the magical Far East.
DISCOVER HIDDEN GEMS, CLOSE TO HOME
From lush rainforests to white-sand beaches, snow-capped mountain peaks, tiny coastal villages and bustling metropolises, an Asia, South Pacific or Australia and New Zealand ocean voyage delivers an incredible range of experiences and all within range of direct flights. From New Zealand’s natural wonders to Tasmania’s remote beauty, India’s temples, Cambodia’s ancient ruins and Japan’s modern cities - this is a region where rugged landscapes, idyllic islands and cosmopolitan urban environments live side by side.
The best way to see it all? Choose a Viking ocean voyage and sail on smaller ships that can take you to unique, lesser-known ports of call and visit multiple destinations with longer stays in each port. Or consider taking in life from the river with a journey on Southeast Asia's Mekong River, exploring Cambodia and Vietnam.
Even when exploring close to home, our culturally enriching, carefully curated and destination-focused journeys allow you to immerse yourself in the unique history and culture of each destination on a deeper level. A voyage with Viking is designed to provide personal enrichment and cultural connections – it’s why we’ve become known as ‘The Thinking Person’s Cruise'.

FOOD, BEVERAGES & RECIPES
The flavours and fragrances of a dish can evoke fond memories of travels past, and ignite your imagination for travel in the future. We have curated some of our best-loved recipes, customs and culinary traditions – and we highly recommend cooking along at home!
CULTURE
Discovering the intricate rhythms and traditions of daily life is a vital part of the travel experience for the curious traveller. From language to religion, every nation has its own unique customs. Here you will discover what makes each destination’s way of life special.
ART, MUSIC, FILM & LITERATURE
Appreciating a destination’s art tells the stories of its people, and its soul.

We hope you enjoy this virtual journey into the wonderful world of art, music, films and literature.
