Viking
Viking Cruises are designed to be culturally immersive and aimed at the enquiring and discerning explorer, so they are not suitable for children. All our guests must be 18 years old on or before the day their cruise starts.
A virtual 360-degree tour of your Viking Longship illustrates all the public spaces and staterooms so you know what to expect before you travel and can make the right choice of cabin. We also have detailed deck plans and stateroom layouts in the Ships section on our website.
Viking offers free Wi-Fi on all our vessels, and we have guest computers on board the ship if you don’t want to bring your own laptop or tablet. We offer internet service via a cellular or satellite terminal; however, the speeds may not be as fast as you experience at home as the terrain and weather sometimes interrupt the signal. If you bring your own device, our experienced staff can help you with the settings when you come on board.
Our mission at crui.se is to help you and your loved one’s book and experience the best cruise holiday imaginable. We’re different in that, our customers come first, not our suppliers or profit margins. Get in touch and let us help you set sail.
