Upcoming Portside Conversations | Episode 11 – Viking Ocean
What makes Viking Ocean different from other cruise lines? In this episode of Portside Conversations, I’m joined by Mary Troder from Viking to explore the experience aboard Viking’s smaller, adults-only ocean ships—and why Viking guests keep coming back. We talk about what’s included in a Viking Ocean fare, destination-focused itineraries, dining and beverages, evening entertainment, and the consistency guests can expect across Viking River, Ocean and Expedition. Mary also shares favorite itineraries and addresses a common misconception: that Viking Ocean is too quiet or boring. In this conversation: • Why Viking’s ships are designed to feel familiar • Included shore excursions, specialty dining, Wi-Fi and beverages with meals • Adults-only cruising, without casinos or art auctions • Dining flexibility, Silver Spirits and bringing local wine or spirits onboard • Smaller-ship itineraries and the future of Viking’s fleet • Evening shows, music, dancing and more 2028 BOOKING UPDATE: Through Where to Next Agency’s TPI group program, eligible Viking River, Ocean and Expedition sailings with available group space offer $125 savings per person, combinable with applicable Viking consumer promotions available at the time of booking.
