Viking’s longstanding partnership with Highclere Castle – known to many as ‘the real Downton Abbey’ – provides a variety of ways for guests to experience life at the castle in Hampshire, England. Guests can go behind the scenes with a three or four-night pre or post-cruise extension that can be added to a selection of river and ocean voyages.

These include the three-night Oxford & Highclere Castle  and the four-night Great Homes, Gardens & Gin pre or post-cruise extensions.
