Alternatively, picture yourself traveling further to the great cities of the world on a small ocean ship, arriving into harbors you have always dreamed of visiting.
At Viking, they have crafted a fare that includes everything you need – and nothing you do not – without any additional expenses for coffee, wine or onboard meals. There is no charge for Wi-Fi or port taxes and fees, plus we offer one complimentary shore excursion in every port.

For guests wishing to have the ultimate Viking experience, their suites offer the pinnacle of spaciousness and comfort – a private residence that feels like a “home away from home.” The suite is the base for exploration – a sanctuary that can serve as an escape or a gathering space for fellow travelers. Every Viking Suite in their fleet is spacious, serene and welcoming, with distinct spaces that offer a uniquely home-like feel. Stepping into the sitting area, guests are greeted by a sense of openness and calm as they settle into their private residence. In the bedroom, discover a haven for rest and relaxation. Guests will also find a beautifully appointed bathroom, abundant storage and thoughtful touches throughout.
Wherever guests choose to travel, Viking’s destination-focused voyages offer a singular experience—designed to connect curious travelers more closely with the people, places and stories that have shaped the world.
Explore Longer the Quiet Season Mediterranean
The Mediterranean’s quiet season—fall and winter—is a wonderful time to discover the ancient treasures of Spain, Italy, Greece and beyond. With fewer travelers, guests will have more opportunities for meaningful interactions with locals and can leisurely explore iconic landmarks.
With fewer crowds and a more relaxed atmosphere, take advantage and discover historic landmarks, uncover hidden gems and engage with locals at a more leisurely pace. With fewer travelers, experience the region anew, even as a returning traveler, and enjoy easier access to iconic sites, such as the Acropolis in Athens, the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City and Barcelona’s iconic Basílica de la Sagrada Família. Spend more time at museums, art galleries and historical sites without the high-season crowds, allowing for deeper immersion in the region’s rich history and art.
Additionally, cooler temperatures and milder weather during the “quiet season” make for an enjoyable touring experience. Before temperatures rise in late spring, sightseeing in the fall and winter months is generally pleasant with daytime temperatures ranging from the low 50s to the mid-60s Fahrenheit (10°C to 18°C). For some travelers, these are more comfortable conditions to explore iconic outdoor sites, such as Rome’s famed Colosseum and Athens’ Acropolis, while avoiding the summertime heat.
On a grand journey with Viking, spend more time exploring the Mediterranean in a new perspective without the peak season congestion. With fewer guests on board their small, award-winning ocean ships, you can always enjoy an intimate experience. And, with fewer travelers on shore during the Mediterranean’s quiet season, you can enjoy that same comfort while exploring at a leisurely pace. Plus, Viking Inclusive Value ensures their fares are always all-inclusive with everything you need—and nothing you do not—with no children, no casinos and no nickel and diming.
