Insider Tips
Wi-Fi
Speeds can be inconsistent in remote areas. No streaming-tier Wi-Fi is included — you get basic browsing-level connectivity.
All Drinks
Cocktails, spirits, and drinks outside meal times are NOT included. The Silver Spirits upgrade ($27/day + 15% service charge) is required for all-day drinking, and both guests in a stateroom must purchase it.
Port Shuttle
Shuttle availability depends on the port — not all ports have shuttle service. In ports where the dock is close to town, no shuttle is provided.
All Excursions
The included excursion is from a curated list — premium or extended tours cost extra. Popular free excursions sell out quickly, so book early through My Viking Journey.
Gratuities
Viking adds $20/person/day to your shipboard account (for 2026 sailings), plus 15% is automatically added to all bar and beverage tabs. Budget an extra $280/person for a 14-day cruise.
Specialty Dining
The Chef's Table requires advance reservations and has very limited seating (often only one seating per evening). Book immediately upon opening or you may miss out entirely.
Age
All guests must be 18 years or older on embarkation day. No exceptions — Viking will deny boarding to anyone under 18.
General
Viking ships have no casino, no kids' club, and no main-stage production shows. The focus is on cultural enrichment, lectures, and destination immersion.
Tipping
Despite premium positioning, gratuities are not included. The $20/day auto-charge surprises many first-time Viking guests who expect an all-inclusive experience.
Dining
Viking has no formal night dress code, but The Chef's Table and Manfredi's suggest smart casual. No shorts or flip-flops at dinner in any restaurant.
