Who does the voiceover for viking river cruises advert

Advertising is everywhere. It’s hard to avoid, and it’s often hard to know who does the voiceover for a particular commercial. One question that comes up regularly is: who does the voiceover for the Viking River Cruises advert?

The UK television campaigns for Viking River Cruises have featured two British voiceover artists: Piers Gibbon (male voiceover) and Louisa Gummer (female voiceover).

Piers Gibbon is a BAFTA member and experienced narrator and presenter, best known for documentary work on Channel 4, ITV, Discovery and Channel 5. He has voiced commercials for a number of well-known brands alongside his extensive TV narration career. His professional profile at voiceovers.co.uk lists Viking River Cruises as a current commercial credit, and his own website at piersgibbon.com confirms he is “most famously” associated with the Viking River Cruises campaign.

Louisa Gummer is a British actress and voiceover artist with credits across TV, radio and online campaigns for a wide range of brands. A YouTube clip posted directly to her official Facebook page credits her as the female voiceover in a Viking River Cruises TV ad, and her profile at louisagummer.com lists the brand among her commercial clients.

Both artists have worked together on Viking River Cruises spots — a behind-the-scenes recording session featuring both Gibbon and Gummer for a Viking River Cruises TV ad is also documented on YouTube.

Piers Gibbon’s warm, resonant tone and Louisa Gummer’s clear, engaging delivery together give the ads their well-recognised feel — conveying a sense of discovery and understated luxury that fits the Viking brand well.

About the Viking River Cruises Adverts

Viking River Cruises is a division of Viking, a cruise company founded by Torstein Hagen. The UK TV campaigns typically showcase the rivers and cities of Europe — including the Rhine, Danube and Seine — as well as further-afield itineraries.

The adverts tend to use sweeping scenic footage of river landscapes and historic city skylines, accompanied by the voiceover narration and atmospheric music. Specific filming locations vary by campaign; Viking has not publicly confirmed all shoot locations, so it is worth checking viking.co.uk for the latest campaign details.

Viking River Cruise Music

Music is a notable part of the on-board experience as well as the advertisements themselves. Guests on a Viking River Cruise can typically expect a mix of live and recorded music reflecting the cultures of the destinations visited — from classical and folk to contemporary styles. Onboard entertainment varies by ship and itinerary; check the Viking website for the most up-to-date details on what is included with your sailing.
