Viking Cruises has, for the fifth consecutive year, been named the Best Luxury Line, Best Line for Couples and Best Line in the Mediterranean by U.S. News & World Report in the publication’s 2026 Best Cruise Line rankings.



Viking also earned Best Cruise Line for Dining in the Luxury category. The U.S. News & World Report travel rankings reflect a comprehensive analysis of expert opinions and traveller reviews, as well as recommendations and insider knowledge from the publication’s in-destination seasoned writers and editors.

“We are honoured to be recognised once again by U.S. News & World Report,” said Torstein Hagen, Chairman and CEO of Viking. “From the start, we have taken a contrarian approach—we focus on the destination, and we do not try to be all things to all people. These awards are a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire Viking family, and we are very grateful.”
