Ua ʻike ʻia no ka ʻehā o ka makahiki e Cruise Critic, ʻo ka ʻike like ʻole i hāʻawi ʻia e Viking a me ka hoʻomau ʻana i ka ulu ʻana o nā ʻauwaʻa i loaʻa i ka ʻoihana nā māka kiʻekiʻe mai ka hui hoʻoponopono honua o Cruise Critic. Ke hoʻolauleʻa nei ʻo Viking Cruises i kēia lā i kāna mau moku holo kahawai kaulana.
"Aia kā mākou hui holoʻokoʻa ma Viking e hoʻomaikaʻi aku no ka loaʻa hou ʻana o kēia hoʻokō," wahi a ka luna Viking Torstein Hagen. "I ka ulu ʻana o ka mākeke a me ka hoʻokūkū, ʻaʻole mākou i nalowale i ka mea a mākou e kū nei - hāʻawi i kā mākou poʻe malihini i nā ala hou a kūʻokoʻa e ʻimi ai i kekahi o nā wahi maikaʻi loa o ka honua me ka ʻoluʻolu. ʻO ka loaʻa ʻana o kā mākou hana ikaika a me kā mākou hana i ʻike ʻia e Cruise Critic, he alakaʻi i ka mākeke holo moku, he ala kūpono ia e hoʻopau ai i kahi makahiki kūleʻa.

"ʻO ka Aquavit Terrace, e hāʻawi ana i kahi ʻike kūʻokoʻa i loko-waho, kahi hōʻailona o ka laina - ʻaʻole ia e hōʻike i nā hōʻailona o ka lohi i ka wā e ulu ai."
Hoʻokumu ʻia i ka makahiki 1997, ua hoʻokumu ʻia ʻo Viking me ʻehā mau moku holo moana ʻo Rūsia a me kahi inoa e hoʻohanohano ai i nā Vikings i hele mua ma ka moku lōʻihi e ʻimi i nā ala wai o Rūsia. I kēia lā, nona a lawelawe ʻo Viking i nā ʻauwaʻa moku nui loa o ka honua - 53 - a ʻo kēia hanohano mai Cruise Critic e hele mai ana ma waena o nā kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe o ka hoihoi o nā mea kūʻai aku i ka holo kahawai. No ka hoʻokō ʻana i ka koi, ua uhaʻi ʻo Viking i kahi moʻolelo honua ma mua o Malaki o kēia makahiki ma ka bapetizo ʻana iā 16 Viking Longships® hou i ka lā hoʻokahi - kahi papa o nā moku i kapa ʻia ʻo "Best New River Ships" i ka 2012 Cruise Critic's Editors' Picks . ʻO kēia, i hui pū ʻia me ka bapetizo ʻana o ʻelua mau moku kahawai kūʻokoʻa ma Porto, Pokukala, ua lawe mai i ka huina o nā moku i bapetizo ʻia i ka makahiki 2014 i 18.
Mai ke komo ʻana i ka mākeke ʻAmelika ʻAmelika i ka makahiki 2000, ua hoʻomau ʻo Viking i ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana i nā kūlana ʻoihana me nā moku holo moana ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi loa, ka lawelawe lanakila lanakila, ka maikaʻi maikaʻi loa a me nā huakaʻi holoʻokoʻa āpau i hāʻawi ʻia ma ke kumukūʻai hoʻokūkū. Me ka nānā ʻana i ka hana ʻana i nā huakaʻi no nā malihini i makemake i ka hana noʻeau, ka moʻomeheu, ka mōʻaukala a me ka ʻimi ʻana, ʻo Viking's Culture Curriculum i hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia i nā ʻano hana āpau - mai nā mea e like me ke aʻo ʻana i ka ʻōlelo ma luna o ka moku a me nā hana hula kuʻuna, a i hope o nā hiʻohiʻona. hale hōʻikeʻike a me nā kipa home me nā ʻohana kūloko - e hoʻōla i nā ʻano āpau o ka huakaʻi.
No ka mea ʻo Viking ka laina holo moana nui loa, haʻaheo ʻo ia i ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka laulā o nā koho no ka poʻe malihini e hoʻoponopono i kēlā me kēia ʻano o kā lākou huakaʻi - mai ka holo ʻana a me nā koho mokuʻāina, a hiki i kahi huakaʻi hele o ka malihini - ma muli o ka nui o ka nui. kona mau moku.
Hoʻokomo ʻia nā huakaʻi alakaʻi holoʻokoʻa i kēlā me kēia lā no ka poʻe makemake e hoʻolulu iā lākou iho i ka moʻomeheu a me ka mōʻaukala, a ʻo nā koho hoʻonohonoho maʻalahi e hiki ai i nā malihini ke mākaʻikaʻi i ko lākou wikiwiki. Hiki i ka Viking's onboard Program Directors ke hāʻawi i nā ʻike āpau a me nā palapala ʻāina e pono ai nā malihini e ʻimi kūʻokoʻa i nā kūlanakauhale awa, ʻoiai ʻo ka Viking hoʻomaikaʻi ma luna o ka Concierge Service he ʻoihana kūʻokoʻa a hāʻawi i nā malihini i kahi pae like ʻole o ka pilikino hoʻomaha. Me kahi pūnaewele nui o nā pilina a me ka ʻike pili ʻana i kēlā me kēia kūlanakauhale awa, hiki i ka Viking Concierge ke mālama i kahi papaʻaina ma ka hale ʻaina maikaʻi loa, ʻōlelo aku i nā hale kūʻai kūikawā, kauoha i nā tiketi keaka a hoʻonohonoho i kahi alakaʻi pilikino a me ka lawelawe kaʻa.
Hiki mai kēia hanohano kiʻekiʻe i ka manawa o ka piʻi ʻana o ka makemake o ka poʻe huakaʻi no nā huakaʻi huakaʻi hele, kahi a Viking i mākaukau e hālāwai ai. Ma 2015, e hoʻohui ʻo Viking i 10 mau moku lōʻihi hou i kona mau ʻauwaʻa a me ʻelua mau moku i hoʻolālā ʻia no ka Elegant Elbe itinerary, e pālua i ka mana o ka hui ma ka muliwai ʻo Elbe; e hoʻolauna i ʻelua mau huakaʻi kahawai hou, e hōʻike ana ia mau mea ʻelua i nā waiwai nani ma ka muliwai Rhine i ka wā puna; a hoʻolauleʻa i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kāna mau moku holo moana hou. Hoʻokumu ʻia mai ka honua mai, e lawe mai ʻo Viking i nā kumukānāwai o kāna mau huakaʻi kahawai lanakila i ke kai ma ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana i ka manaʻo o ka holo ʻana i ka huakaʻi. E hoʻomaka ana ʻo Viking Ocean Cruises e holo i Mei 2015 me kāna moku mua - ʻo ka 930-passenger all-veranda Viking Star - e hoʻomaka ana i nā huakaʻi mua ma Scandinavia a me ka Baltic; a me ke Kaiwaenahonua.
