At first, making the stretch to Viking Ocean might feel uncomfortable.
After all, you've enjoyed wonderful cruises with Princess and Celebrity for lower prices.
Many people who felt just like you --- maybe you? --- took a chance on a river cruise.
What they found on the river turned out to be quite special and worth the premium price.
Frequently they returned feeling in the end that they spent less for a better vacation.
After all, on holiday we don't want to worry about small things.
We want to feel free to enjoy all aspects of our vacation.
Free-flowing local wine and beer with lunch and dinner, shore excursions in each port and even free internet all combine to make you feel like you're a wealthy traveler in a classic movie, and I'm not talking about a National Lampoon's Vacation.
It can be habit forming.
Many river cruise passengers asked, "Why can't we have all this on an ocean voyage?"
We always could, as long as we were willing to pay for it, and some upscale lines with prices four times as high included extras, but only recently did lines like Oceania and Azamara attempt to split the difference.
Viking Ocean Cruises include those same amenities as Viking River Cruises, and while the prices may indeed cause you to gasp a bit, it turns out by the end of the trip you probably will have spent no more to live the life of luxury.
For example, in April of 2018, you can explore Trade Routes of the Middle Ages on a unique 14-night voyage from Barcelona to Bergen aboard Viking Sky with prices starting at just $3699 for a Veranda!
All staterooms on Viking Ocean have balconies, but you can decide exactly how large and deluxe you want your room.
Keep in mind this is not a mega-ship, and the least expensive categories (as well as the top suites) sell out quite early, so you must book early to lock the best deal.
Just as on river cruises, the included shore excursions will weave a tapestry of the region that will leave you not just having seen but understanding an amazing part of the world.
