Our Insight
Why Northern Lights with Viking?
The Aurora Borealis is a remarkable natural phenomenon, and witnessing it first hand is mesmerising. Experts recommend spending as long as you can around the Arctic Circle in an area known as the auroral oval - northern Norway, the North Cape and Lapland are your best bet. You should also get away from any light pollution, which is why an Arctic expedition cruise is perfect, taking you away from towns and cities.
Viking's ocean ships are a lovely size, carrying 930 guests apiece, and are decorated in a fresh and minimalist Scandinavian style that will be familiar to anyone who has travelled on a Viking river cruise. The emphasis is on exploration and enrichment, with selected shore excursions included in your fare, and the atmosphere on board is laid back and unpretentious. Viking Ocean Cruises continue to expand their fleet with new 998-guest sister-ships launching in 2024 and 2025.
A Northern Lights cruise on Viking's ocean ships offers an included shore excursion in every port, plus inclusive value on board to give a relaxed environment, such as beer, wine and soft drinks included with lunch and dinner, a range of open seating dining options, and lots of choice in terms of entertainment.
Viking refer to themselves as 'The thinking person's cruise', with a range of lectures and cultural programmes, and a varied offering ashore giving insight into how people live and work in each country visited, as well as some privileged access to cultural treasures.
As for the look of the ships, Viking's fresh and contemporary Scandinavian design is uncluttered and inviting, with a huge range of bars and lounges, intimate corners and relaxed spaces, allowing guests to create a pace to suit themselves. Light and airy spaces, fresh air and sea views are available throughout the ships.
