VIKING RIVER CRUISES

NOCHI partners with Viking River Cruises to offer an immersive, hands-on training experience for new hires joining the Viking Mississippi River Cruise team. This comprehensive 5-day program equips participants with the skills and confidence to excel in their roles while preparing them for life aboard the ship. Included is a 2-day, 12-hour functional training segment that simulates the demands of onboard work, ensuring trainees are fully prepared for the unique challenges of cruise ship operations.

Training is tailored to specific roles, providing targeted expertise. Restaurant and bar staff work with NOCHI trainers to master food and wine service, menu and spirit knowledge, and the principles of exceptional hospitality. Housekeeping staff train in a campus-based mock stateroom provided by Viking, focusing on stateroom servicing, chemical safety, and waste management. Culinary staff learn to prepare Viking’s onboard menus, achieving ServeSafe certification, and understanding proper waste protocols. The program concludes with an onboard tour of the Viking Mississippi, where trainees familiarize themselves with their new environment alongside HIT instructors.
