Get to the heart of your destination

Find inspiration in Central Europe by cruising the gentle waters of the River Danube, where the banks of each country offer something spectacular and new, including magnificent monasteries and beautiful vineyards. Discover the ancient world of pharaohs and pyramids along Egypt’s famous river, the Nile, beside which civilizations bloomed and mysteries await your uncovering. 

Viking River Cruises allows you to get to the heart of your chosen destination – including in Europe, Asia, and even the mighty Mississippi right here in America – often traversing multiple boundaries for a once-in-a-lifetime journey.

Sail on ships specially designed for their destinations

Travel to the destinations you’ve always wanted to see with one of the most extensive fleets of river cruise ships. Viking Cruises have designed ships specifically to journey along some of the world’s greatest rivers. The following ships are just a few examples:

• Viking Seine – State-of-the-art engineering for sailing through France, including the heart of Paris

Gain insight with onboard lectures and port talks

Before you make any plans, explore Viking Cruises’ online filmography, detailing more of what you can expect with each voyage and destination. Once on board, complement your sailing and any excursions with a program of talks and lectures from experts. Delve deeper into any area that fascinates you, from music and art to geopolitics and the natural beauty of the region. Establish a closer connection to the places you see from your suite and enrich your travel through a host of other performances and demonstrations themed around specific locales.

Indulge in destination-focused fine dining

Choose from either the splendid Restaurant or the tranquil Aquavit Terrace and dine your way. Enjoy streamlined Scandinavian design in the Restaurant as you indulge in regional cuisine to bring you the flavors and atmosphere of your destination, discovering locally-sourced ingredients. Later, relax on the Aquavit Terrace on a European river cruise and unwind with friends as the picturesque views roll past while you dine al fresco.

Take an excursion in each port for an in-depth experience

Make the most of your time with an excursion at each port along your journey. Gain privileged access to some of the world’s greatest cultural treasures, accessing museums, palaces, and performances that are not open to other travelers. From truffle hunting in France with local farmers to a visit to the Viking-sponsored Chinese elementary school, there is no better way to imbue your exploration of the world than with the passion and people you’ll come into contact with along the way.
