What do Viking do differently (not typical for "regular" cruise lines)? No mysteries, no miracles.
1. Viking Ocean Cruises offer one "included" shore excursion in every port of call.
2. They provide free shuttle buses.
3. They provide local maps.

Below is a complete list of excursions for a repositioning cruise.
I don't want to be judgemental at this point.
Study it yourself.

Check prices.
There is some food for thoughts here.
It's subjective, but none of excursions provided (neither "included", nor extra charge) appealed to us.
We normally do our own arrangements for land trips.
2. What we do appreciate is free shuttles that Viking provide in ports.
It may be extremely helpful in such inconvenient ports like Marseille.

3. A nice touch were simple local maps that Viking prepared for all ports of call.
