River cruising has become an immensely popular way to see the world and for good reason: it’s the easiest way to explore a destination. Think of a luxury hotel that travels with you - no packing and unpacking day after day. And, because the ship is small and the rivers wind inland, the shoreline scenery and the cities and villages are more accessible. The trip becomes intimate and immersive. You’ll simply walk off the ship into living history.
Viking built the river cruise market, starting 20 years ago by focusing on discerning travelers who wanted a travel experience that offered the ability for personal enrichment and up-close and personal insight into a destination. But, today there are a multitude of river cruise lines, so why Viking?
Viking Longships have set the standard in river cruising. Serene Scandinavian-inspired spaces have been designed to get you closer to the world along the river with large, expansive windows.
There is an included excursion in every port, plus Viking offers Local Life, Working World and Privileged Access experiences - opening doors to people and places otherwise difficult to visit.
Onboard enrichment programs bring the destination to life with lectures on history and art, tasting local wines, dining inspired by local cuisine and destination performances featuring regional shows and musicians.
