Destination-driven learning and experiences on board
ON A VIKING JOURNEY, exploring your destination's
fascinating culture doesn't end when you leave each
port of call. After 26 years of crafting itineraries for
The Thinking Person that span the far reaches of the
globe, we have developed a deep understanding of
the unique, inquisitive nature of our guests – and
the result is a carefully crafted cultural enrichment
program that will perfectly complement your
onshore adventures.
GUEST LECTURES
From authors and archaeologists to former diplomats
and news correspondents, these experts will shed
light on your destination's art, music, architecture,
geopolitics and more.
DESTINATION PERFORMANCES
Each Viking itinerary includes one or more destination
performances representing an iconic art form from
that region — whether it is Portuguese fado music or
a Viennese opera.
COOKING DEMONSTRATIONS
Take the flavours of your favourite destinations
home with you. Our cooking demonstrations will
show you how to recreate a variety of regional treats
and beverages — from a traditional Austrian apple
strudel to a delicious German Rüdesheim coffee.
WINE TASTINGS
Let us introduce your palate to a wide selection of
sensational regional wines, as well as some vintages
crafted by our own Viking vintner.
PORT TALKS
Gain an overview of your next day's port of call
through informative multimedia presentations
covering the history and culture of your destination,
as well as highlights of must-see landmarks.
