Explore Scandinavia

Sail the shimmering Norwegian fjords. Trace ancient Viking trade routes. Discover epic expanses of wilderness, and witness magical phenomena like the luminous northern lights and the ever-shining midnight sun.

This is a region of unrivalled diversity. Think glittering cultural capitals and forward-thinking cities like Copenhagen, Stockholm and Oslo, or explore the magnificent natural beauty of Iceland and Greenland.

THIS IS VIKING HEARTLAND

ScandinaviaJust like the original Vikings, we are true innovators when it comes to exploring the world.

Discover Scandinavia with those who know it best. Viking’s chairman, Torstein Hagen, hails from Norway and all our ocean ships call the Hanseatic port city of Bergen home.

But it’s not just our heritage that makes us the Scandinavia experts. It’s also the richness of our ocean itineraries.

Our bespoke voyages allow you to immerse yourself in the unique history and culture of each destination on a deeper level, offering a window into a destination’s rhythms of local life, its working world and taking you behind closed doors with Viking’s signature Privileged Access.

Our ocean voyages are designed to include plenty of overnight stays to give you time to explore more of a destination. A Viking voyage is designed to be destination focused and culturally enriching – it’s why we’ve become known as 'The Thinking Person’s Cruise'.

Here you’ll find inspiration about the most incredible Scandinavian destinations, as well as information to help you plan your next unforgettable journey.

TRAVEL GUIDES & TIPS

The best way to experience a destination is with the guidance of a local, and that’s exactly how Viking helps you explore. Here you’ll find our handy destination guides, as well as our top tips to help you plan your visit.

EXPLORE TV EPISODES

Join Trevor Cochrane, host of Channel Nine’s Explore TV, as he sails Into the Midnight Sun from Bergen to London, and meets a whole host of colourful local characters along the way. Sit back, relax and enjoy the show – your window into cruising in Scandinavia.
