Viking Cruises, which offers river and ocean cruises around the world, took the top spot. The cruise line doesn’t charge extra to dine at its fancier restaurants and each ship comes with the option to take a cooking class. There’s also an onboard herb garden.

“Regional cuisine, always available classics and the most al fresco dining at sea,” the company boasts, touting everything from sit-down Italian restaurants to cafes to a tea garden.
