Iconic Iceland, Greenland & Canada
With their sleek, yacht-style bows and teak promenade decks, Viking’s ocean ships are a million miles from the large liners that sail the seas.
Viking began as a river cruise line and entered the ocean-cruise market with the launch of the 930-guest Viking Star.
Viking has already made an indelible mark on the sector with its fleet of stylish, near-identical, adult-only ships.
The cruise line currently has 10 ships in its fleet.
Northeast of the country’s capital city Reykjavík lies Akureyri, the oldest and second-largest town in Iceland. The charming, pint-sized city may be small in size with a population of just 20,000, but it is a surprisingly lively place with a wealth of attractions and activities, not to mention remarkable natural wonders. Boasting one of the best skiing areas in the country as well as great hiking trails, an 18-hole golf course and Icelandic swimming pools, Akureyri is an ideal port of call for the active among you, as well cruise passengers in search of the elusive and ethereal northern lights.
