Are children welcome and are there cabins that fit four Sent from my iPhone using Forums Cutting to the chase, Viking is not a family cruise line; it is not a segment of the market that Viking wishes to serve and hence they are not prepared for families traveling with children under the age of 16.

jiminyC_fan Posted June 14, 2017 #4 Share Posted June 14, 2017 The cabins are not designed for more that two people. As far as I know, they don't have connecting rooms either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewLondonNed Posted June 14, 2017 #5 Share Posted June 14, 2017 You may find your children would enjoy another line where there are other children and programs geared toward families with that age group Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Age requirement is 16 for Viking Ocean, and I believe 14 for Viking River. No putting 2 kids alone in a room. Adult required in every room. 14+ yr olds interested in history especially having taken a foreign language would love the river cruises I've been on. Viking is not for young kids or kids (or adults) who find history boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Peregrina651 Posted June 14, 2017 #7 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Did meet a family last week with daughters 16 & 20 who loved their Homelands cruise There were a few of multi-generational groups on both of our cruises (June for Midnight Sun and New Years in the Mediterranean). But young adults who come on board expecting that they will get a Carnival/Royal Caribbean/NCL type party hearty experience will be in for a bit surprise. Viking is nothing like those lines and offers no programing or facilities geared for young adults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haybella1316 Posted June 18, 2017 Author #8 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Thanks for the responses My wife and I will likely consider it on our own Our kids are closer to being young adult than we are depending on your definition.
