Search Help
You can select more than one option in most of the form fields. Here are explanations of the search options we get asked about the most often:
Departure Port: If you only want to view results for cruises that start in a specific port, you can specify it here. You can select more than one (to see cruises that start at certain ports). For example, you can select both New York and Boston if you only want to view cruises that start in either New York or Boston.

Arrival Port: If you only want to view results for cruises that end in a specific port, you can specify it here. You can select more than one (to see cruises that end at certain ports). For example, you can select both New York and Boston if you only want to view cruises that end in either New York or Boston.
Ports of Call: You can the type name of one port that you would like all your search results to include. For example, if you type Barcelona all of the search results will include cruises that include Barcelona (even if it's not a starting or ending port in the itinerary). Be sure to spell the port name correctly!
Max Occupancy: Allows you to view search results that only include ships that have accommodations for a minimum amount of people per room. For example, if you select "5 and more" your search results will only include ships that have at least one room type that would accommodate at least 5 people. The pricing that displays on the search results page will be the per person pricing based on a room for two people. Proceed further in the online booking process to view the pricing for accommodations for a different occupancy.
Kid-Friendly: Shows cruises that are great choices for those traveling with children and teens. Includes ships with youth programs and/or youth-friendly public spaces. Programs and public spaces are subject to change, at the discretion of the cruise line.
→ Cruise Only vs Cruise Line Tour
If you check the Cruise Only option, you will only see results that are for a cruise vacation. If you check the Cruise Line Tour option, you will only see vacations that include a cruise + land tour package (also known as a Cruise Tour). Leave both unchecked to view results that include both vacation types.

Viking Expeditions
A new venture by Viking Cruises, Viking Expeditions will initially have a couple of brand new sister expedition ships, Viking Octantis and Viking Polaris, offering a variety of adventurous itineraries such as the Arctic, Antarctica, Caribbean, and the Great Lakes & Canada. Santa Maria II is a beautiful vessel that Viking Expeditions is chartering for Galapagos cruises.
Their expedition ships are optimally sized for expeditions as they are small enough to navigate remote areas, yet large enough to provide speed, superior handling, and stability in the roughest seas. Their expedition ships have lots of indoor and outdoor viewing areas, bringing guests as close as possible to magnificent scenery. Public rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows, and the Aula, their panoramic auditorium, has 270° views.
Viking has really thought out what the best ways are to provide expedition vacations to their guests, and have ensured that their ships have industry leading features. The Hangar will be
an industry first aboard Viking Octantis and Viking Polaris. It is an enclosed in-ship marina that allows for the launch of small excursion craft through the ship's slipway. Guests can embark on RIBs (rigid inflatable boats), shielded from wind and waves from a flat, stable surface inside the ship, and glide into the water to depart on their excursion. They re-enter The Hangar after excursions via the slipway to the protected marina before disembarking their RIBs. The RIBs are 12-seater vessels, built for exploration, with a dual water jet system, individually suspended seats and, when converted to a covered RIB, there's an option to sit in an enclosed cabin.
Viking Expeditions will also have a fleet of Military Pro zodiacs that are designed for professional use in the harshest environments. They're reinforced throughout, but are still comfortable enough for a day of exploring. Arctic-tested, 2-seater kayaks will be available as well.
They have a pedal system that lets kayakers glide through the water hands-free, maximizing photo opportunities. Of course, guests can use paddles if that is preferred. Viking Expeditions will have large-capacity submarines that accommodate 6 guests and a pilot, offering a truly unique underwater experience. The revolving seats, plus the nearly 270° spherical windows, offer a fantastic view of the surroundings for all guests.
