Destination-driven learning on board
ON A VIKING VOYAGE, exploring your destination's
fascinating culture doesn't end when you leave each
port of call. After decades 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 one of the most in-depth, highly curated
onboard educational offerings at sea.
VIKING RESIDENT HISTORIANS
On every voyage, you'll be accompanied by a Viking
Resident Historian, who provides guests with
high-level, invaluable insight into the rich history of
upcoming ports. Esteemed expert lecturers, trustees
of archaeological and historical societies, leading
consultants and museum curators, our Resident
Historians are there to inform and educate on every
leg of your journey. Find out what made the papacy
return to Rome with a lecture in the Star Theatre, or
join a round-table discussion that examines how your
destination's ancient government maintained law
and order – there's always more to learn, and with
Viking you'll learn from the best.
GUEST LECTURES
Viking's onboard lecture program is one of the most
comprehensive at sea. Our world-renowned experts
are professors from eminent universities, astronauts,
diplomats and historical eyewitnesses with
informative tales to impart about your destination's
art, architecture, music, geopolitics and natural world.
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.
