Beschte Cruise Linn 2022 benannt

Viking® (www.viking.com), for the second year in a row, has been voted both the Best River Line and the Best Ocean Line by Condé Nast Traveler in the publication’s 2022 Readers’ Choice Awards. Viking was named #1 for both rivers and oceans by Rees + Fräizäit, making it the only cruise line to reach the top of its categories in both publications in the same year. 

Méi wéi 240,000 Condé Nast Traveler readers submitted responses rating their travel experiences for the 2022 Readers’ Choice Awards. As part of the awards, Viking will be featured in the November U.S. and U.K. print editions of Condé Nast Traveler; the full results of the awards can be found at www.cntraveler.com/rca.   

“We are honoured to have again been named Condé Nast Traveler‘s #1 river and #1 ocean line. These new awards, along with being voted to the top by Rees + Fräizäit, showcase our team’s hard work and encourage us to continue delivering the meaningful travel experiences that set us apart,” said Torstein Hagen, Chairman of Viking. “Thank you to our guests and the readers of Condé Nast Traveler. They say when you reach the top, there is only one way to go – we say that way is onwards.”

Today’s announcement follows a year of significant milestones as the company celebrates its 25^th anniversary. Viking Expeditions launched in January with the purpose-built Viking Octantis®, and her sister ship, the Viking Polaris®, debuted last week. Earlier in the year, the company welcomed eight new Viking Longships® on the rivers of Europe, new purpose-built vessels for the Nile, Mekong and Mississippi Rivers and one new ocean ship, the Viking Mars®. By the end of the year, an additional identical ocean ship, the Viking Neptune®, will also join the ocean fleet.
