Viking celebrated new accolades from Cruise Critic, the world’s leading online cruise resource. Viking received seven Editors’ Picks Awards in the luxury, river, and expedition categories in 2023, more than any other line – across the luxury, river and expedition categories.
Two of the awards are in the luxury category, including Best Cabins and Best Spa, which Viking has won every year since the company began offering ocean voyages in 2015. The company was named Best for First-Timers, Best River Line, and Best Service in three river categories. Furthermore, Viking got two expedition awards: Best for Light Expedition and Best Spa.
“We are honoured that Cruise Critic’s editors have recognised Viking with seven awards, including awards in the luxury category. Because the word ‘luxury’ can mean something different to everyone, we are reluctant to use it to describe ourselves. But we are always pleased when industry experts categorise Viking as ‘luxury,'” said Torstein Hagen, Chairman of Viking. “You could say that we are a bit different at Viking. We design voyages for The Thinking Person, with no children or casinos on board our ships. Prestigious awards like these showcase our team’s hard work and encourage us to continue delivering the meaningful travel experiences that set us apart.”
Cruise Critic’s Editors’ Picks Awards combine editors’ impartial cruise expertise — based on firsthand experiences and industry knowledge — to assist travellers in selecting the ideal cruise holiday among the growing number of cruise alternatives. Placing Viking first in seven separate categories:
- Best Cabins—Luxury
- Best Spa—Luxury
- Best River Line—River
- Best for First Timers–River
- Best Service–River
- Best for Light Expedition—Expedition
- Best Spa—Expedition
