Viking was founded in 1997 with the vision that travel could be more destination focused and culturally immersive.
Since then, Viking has grown to a fleet of more than 90 vessels, offering river, ocean and expedition voyages on all seven continents. Viking provides destination-focused itineraries for curious travelers, with each journey including a shore excursion in every port and an onboard and onshore enrichment program that provides deep immersion in the destination through performances of music and art, cooking demonstrations, informative port talks and carefully selected guest lecturers.
With more than 450 awards to its name, Viking is a leader in the industry and was rated #1 for Rivers, #1 for Oceans (for ships sized 500 to 2,500 berths) and #1 for Expeditions by Condé Nast Traveler for the second year in a row in the 2024 Readers’ Choice Awards. This marks the first time a travel company has won these three categories in back-to-back years.
During Maritime Industry 2025, we are looking to meet experienced River Captains, 1st Officers and 2nd Officer interested in a career on board our river ships.
If you are looking for a dynamic career with opportunities for growth, join Viking and become part of a team that values curiosity, professionalism, and work to provide an outstanding guest experience.
