Since 1995, Travel + Leisure, the largest travel magazine brand in the U.S., has invited readers to cast their vote for the World’s Best in cruising with considerations in the following features: cabins/facilities, food, service itineraries/destinations, excursions/activities and value.

“We are honored that the readers of Travel + Leisure, who are also our loyal guests, have once again recognized Viking as a ‘World’s Best.’ Thank you to our entire Viking family around the world for delivering the experiences that make these awards possible,” said Torstein Hagen, Chairman and CEO of Viking. “We have always done things differently, and we look forward to introducing even more guests to the Viking way of exploration in the coming years.”

With a clear focus on creating experiences for The Thinking Person, Viking does not try to be all things to all people. This approach has resonated with guests, and today’s announcement is just the latest milestone in a series of recent accolades. In addition to the awards from Travel + Leisure and Condé Nast Traveler, Viking dominated the 2023 Cruise Critic Editors’ Picks Awards with seven awards – more than any other line – across the luxury, river and expedition categories – including Best Cabins and Best Spa in the luxury category. Viking was named Best Luxury Line, Best Line for Couples and Best Line in the Mediterranean in U.S. News & World Report’s 2024 Best Cruise Lines ranking; among the Best Cruises by the editors and panel of experts in both the Women’s Health and Men’s Health 2024 Travel Awards; and two of Viking’s ocean ships, the Viking Sky® and the Viking Neptune® were rated and “Recommended” as part of the Forbes Travel Guide 2024 Star Awards, an annual independent evaluation for luxury travel brands.
