When
you cruise with Viking you sail with the world’s leading
river cruise company, and you enjoy the rewards of more than 175
years of heritage and a level of expertise second to none. Founded
in 1997 by former officials from the Royal Viking Line, Viking
River Cruises boasts one of the largest and newest fleets of riverboats
in Europe. The fleet is comprised of 20 vessels, all built in
the last few years, and has expanded far beyond the Rhine and
Danube offering itineraries across Europe, Russia and China.
Inspiring
destinations, beautifully crafted itineraries, expert tour guides,
luxurious ships, fine cuisine, excellent service, remarkable value—our
success is defined by all these things, and something else, too:
personal attention to every detail. It’s the way the bartender
has your drink ready for you, at just the right time. It’s
the gentle guidance from your Tai Chi master in a lesson you take
while sailing along the Yangtze. It’s the handwritten directions
from your concierge to the best coffeehouse in Vienna.
At
Viking, we never forget that looking after you is why we have
become the world’s favorite river cruise line, and why our
guests return to cruise with us again and again. Indeed, it is
our guests who are our greatest ambassadors, making us the most
honored river cruise line in the world.

The
Viking Advantages
- The
Viking Fleet
Elegant. Stylish. Exceptionally comfortable. The world’s
largest fleet of river cruise ships is also the most beautiful.
And since we operate all the vessels in our fleet, there is
no detail that goes unnoticed. On board, you are greeted with
an abundance of space with room to relax, fresh air to breathe
and all the comforts of a fine hotel—one that is designed
to blend seamlessly with the spectacular panorama of ever-changing
views.
- Viking
Accommodations
Every aspect of your Viking journey is created with your comfort
and pleasure in mind, including overnight stays in carefully
selected hotels and, most importantly, the personal haven that
is your stateroom. With a superb choice of accommodations, Viking
offers something special to suit every guest.
- Culinary
Journey
There are few greater pleasures than fine food. Indeed, much
of the joy of travel is the discovery of new and exciting cuisine.
On a Viking cruise, you can look forward to a variety of regional
cuisine that gives you a true flavor of each inspiring place
you visit, all beautifully prepared and presented by our highly
trained chefs. As with every aspect of a Viking vacation, the
choice is yours.
- Celebrate
Fine Food
The scent of rosemary on roasted lamb. The sight of scarlet
tomatoes, plump and ripe. The way the pastry flakes in your
fingers, and melts in your mouth. You experience travel with
all your senses—including taste—and food that indulges
all your senses is food that you never forget. With Viking,
you celebrate food in all its glory. On board and on shore,
you discover that food is something to be sampled, savored and,
above all, enjoyed!
- The
Viking Standard
Can a waiter make you feel as if you are the most important
person in the world? Can a concierge feel like a long-lost friend?
Yes, if that team works for Viking. When you have the best people,
you also have the best service. And at Viking, we have more
than 1,500 of our own staff worldwide dedicated to providing
friendly, attentive, award-winning service.
- The
Viking Experience
When you travel with Viking, every destination is made more
fascinating and enjoyable with a wealth of included guided tours,
informative lectures, interesting demonstrations and entertaining
performances. It is a combination that enables you to transcend
just seeing a place and instead discover a sense of place—a
discovery that is enriching and enlightening. See more and experience
more with Viking River Cruises.
- Viking
Your Way
Your journey is different from everyone else’s. Some days
you want to see beyond every hill, visit every attraction, look
in every shop. Other days you want to slow down and linger longer.
Some days, you may want to just sit at a sidewalk café
and watch the world go by. To meet everyone’s needs and
interests, Viking offers a choice of ways to explore each and
every place you visit.
- All-Inclusive
Packages
The last thing you want to do on vacation is worry about costs.
When you travel with Viking, we make sure that there are no
surprises or hidden fees. The price you pay covers just about
everything—port charges, wi-fi, meals, lectures, activities
and shore excursions—as well as hotel accommodations on
our cruisetour itineraries. So all you have to do is relax and
enjoy a great vacation that is also a great value.
- Great
Value
With the largest and best fleet of deluxe river cruise ships,
more awards than any other river cruise line, choice in every
aspect of your vacation and incredible, all-inclusive value,
it’s no wonder that more than half a million people have
joined Viking on magical, enlightening journeys along the world’s
great waterways.
