ART, HISTORY, CULTURE With various cultural partnerships in place around the world including the British Museum, Highclere Castle, and Heywood Hill literary collectors, Viking also brings its guests closer to art, history and culture while on shore You might accompany the ship's chef on a visit to a local market, step behind the scenes at a famous theatre company, tour a chocolate or car factory or view private collections and hidden vaults at world-class museums EMBRACING HYGGE Underneath all of this excitement and at the root of every Thinking Person's Cruise is a recognition of hygge (pronounced "hyh-geh") – a Nordic way of life In embracing our strong cultural roots, we ensure that your inspiring Viking cruise is also one of comfort and contentment From a peaceful cup of tea enjoyed to that surprising conversation sparked with a like-minded traveller, our aim is to help you feel more connected – to new friends and the world – on every single journey We've never been more easily connected to the rest of the world and the golden discoveries that await there Now that's something to think about "If you're a curious traveller, keen on art and culture and looking to learn more about the destinations you visit, then you' ll appreciate Viking's educational focus. For me, it's the thinking person's cruise line." B r i a n J o h n s t o n , F r e e l a n c e Tr a v e l W r i t e r O N BOA R D M U S I C I A N S BO P PA R D, G E R M A N Y 12
