Viking Brings Back Downton Abbey

Fans of the celebrated PBS series Downton Abbey get another chance to curate content, this time in person with Downton Abbey: The Exhibition. Presented by Viking Cruises, the exhibit takes an up close and personal look at the history, fashion, and culture of post-Edwardian England.

Our guests are curious explorers who enjoy being immersed in the cultures of the world, and many of them first learned about Viking and our destination-focused small ship cruises while watching Downton Abbey,” – Richard Marnell, Viking Senior Vice President of Marketing

Viking also offers Downton Abbey fans a Privileged Access experience at Highclere Castle, the setting of the popular series. Available as a pre- or post-cruise extension, Viking’s Oxford & Highclere Castle package is available for guests on select river and ocean cruise itineraries. Co-created by Viking’s Karine Hagen in tandem with friends the Earl and Countess of Carnarvon, the package brings an exclusive three-day experience in the rolling hills of England’s countryside with a champagne welcome and tours of the estate.

Not Highclere Castle But You Get The Idea
