Cruise vacations are a great value as so much is included in the cruise fare. One of the most inclusive cruises on the market is Viking Ocean Cruises. For those travelers planning a trip on this luxury cruise line, we have put together this exhaustive list of EVERYTHING that is included on Viking Ocean Cruises.

If you enjoy the video, please make sure to give it a BIG THUMBS UP!

Like most cruise lines, your cruise fare includes your accommodations for the duration of the voyage. Viking Ocean cruise ships boast staterooms that all include a balcony. Although, unlike other cruise companies, all dining on the ship is also included with no up-charges. The main dining room, the World Café buffet, as well as special restaurants are all complimentary on the vessel. Even 24-hour room service is free on all Viking ships.

Other inclusions that set Viking Ocean Cruises apart are complimentary soft drinks, house wines, and beer during lunch and dinner. All Viking Ocean cruise ships also include self service laundry facilities, so you can wash your clothes and even iron for no additional charge. You even receive one free shore excursion at each port of call as part of the total cost of the cruise.

While the cruise is a great value, not everything is included. Alcoholic beverages, including mixed drinks and cocktails, are not part of the cruise fare. You can purchase the Silver Spirits Beverage package to lock in a low daily price. You will also be charged daily gratuities, currently $15 a person, per day, for the duration of the trip.

Have you ever sailed on Viking Ocean Cruises?

Great video. It’s interesting to see all that’s included. Gorgeous ship too!

While beer & wine are included at lunch as well as dinner, consider that you may be off on an excursion at lunch time and that you have to be seated for dinner to get the wine & beer complimentary. While almost any decent non-light beer is fine with me, the wines available with the package are those that would cost $15 by the glass rather than $8 or so for the standard wines should you opt for one of those other than at meal time. Considering that the spirits package cost us $19 per person per day, one cocktail, two premium wines at dinner and an after dinner drink late in the evening more than off set the cost. Of course, both people in the cabin will get charged for the package. If you can afford it, get at least a Penthouse Veranda cabin for the extra storage space. In the other smaller veranda staterooms, which are quite nice, you can't swing a dead cat without knocking something over. The two best bargains? I think the on-board laundries allow you to travel with less baggage and the free wi-fi is terrific if you're tied to social media. Oh. and the included shore excursions were more than adequate. I took one cruise and soon after signed up for another.

Seriously looking into a Viking cruise, hopefully it will be in 2021, love to do the Northern Lights tour in January !
Thank you for the review

Looks like all I can afford at the moment is a transatlantic, which rivals the mass market when you consider airfare and tours included. We've got our first Viking River cruise booked, this might go on the bucket list too.

I can vouch for Viking River Cruises, having taken the Christmas Markets cruise from Nuremburg to Budapest. Absolutely fantastic! We loved it so much that we are taking a Viking Ocean cruise next year. Choose an extension on either end to make the trip last longer!

[gordonbaillie]

Very good overview. Thank you for that comprehensive review.

[chriswilliams]

i love that it is adults only and no casino too.
Are there any steam rooms in the Spa? it is quite inclusive then, but with tipping being extra.

[unknowntraveller]

Thank you for this upload, I am doing my very first sea cruise and it's with Viking, { Sydney to Bali}. I hope that the experience is as good as it looks....

We're taking our first Viking cruise this summer, so I'm checking out all the videos I can find. Yours mentions that a given percentage gratuity is included in the fare. But the "My Viking Journey" website says they're not. This has left me a bit confused. I assume the company's information is more likely to be correct, or at least more current (perhaps the policy has changed). Any comment on that?

[joebevf]

Top Advise: Buy the Sliver Package. Totally worth it.

[johnnyg]

Okay so how much would a Mediterranean cruise run for a couple. I am planning to surprise my girl with this one day and have to budget for it.

[skorpyo]

about an an extra 1000 you ll need? Or 5k if your frugal. And why not be charged the service charge for everyday in the beginning.

[bhupindrarai]

It’s my dream to work with Viking cruise

[happytraveller]

I have this booked ( I’m in Australia). Gratuities are included)

[kavikafl]

We are off ri Iceland in 60 days. Second Ocean, three river. Love Viking. But don't get real Viking ancestral discount!!

[gennmariezam]

How big are rooms in the Viking ? Any deals this End of June 2022?

[Zodliness]

I'm all packed and ready for a luxury world holiday with Viking cruises. one little problem... Has anyone got £11K going spare?

[theodoreheath]

I like the fact that there are no children onboard.

[patrickhoyle]

Recently returned and was miffed with no tea in the cabin, lectures at stupid o'clock 6.45pm for goodness sake! Was told the band would humour me with an occasional waltz and rock and roll to dance to. They wouldn't :-( lovely ship and staff but won't return. Expected better food, we were the only British onboard so I guess it's steered towards the American tastes. No mayonnaise which I found really strange, yes I did ask but none.
