Viking River Cruises
Waste no time discovering all that Europe and its neighboring countries has to offer with Viking River Cruises. One of the most popular river cruise lines in the world, Viking River Cruises’ magnificent fleet sails the riverways of Europe, Russia, China, Egypt, and Ukraine. Each ship is Scandinavian in design, with spacious public areas and luxurious (all oce anview) accommodations. The intimate size of Viking River’s ship allows them to cruise through rivers and visit ports of call that traditionally large cruise ships cannot. Some of their ships, such as Viking Astrild and Viking Beyla, were custom-designed to travel through the shallow waters of the Elbe.
Viking River Excursions
Since Viking River Cruises specializes in visiting quaint ports of call, Viking provides each guest with an in-depth cultural experience in each one. You will receive one complimentary shore excursion per port, which is led by a local English-speaking guide who will provide you with an authentic inside look at each destination. Viking also offers optional for-fee excursions that heighten your experiences with exclusive opportunities, such as interacting with locals, participating in a hands-on workshop, or private tours. Onboard enrichment programming ties your experience together with lectures, local performances, demonstrations, and in-depth port talks that get you ready for the next port.
Dining
Viking’s well-trained team of chefs work tirelessly to deliver carefully-prepared, gourmet dishes right to your table. An elegant yet casual open-seating experience, dining onboard Viking River Cruises combines regional specialties with traditional American fare. Each night, dinner becomes the culinary highlight with an amazing five-course fine dining experience for every traveler. Viking’s attentive and courteous staff is always there to deliver each and every one of your desires.
Stateroom Amenities
Staying onboard a Viking River cruise feels like you’re staying in one of the world’s finest hotels. Each of their staterooms feature hotel-style beds with European linens and duvets, plus a private bathroom with shower, satellite television with on-demand entertainment, heated bathroom floors, and much more.

During 2016, Viking River Cruises welcomed the latest additions to its fleet with the christening of six new Viking Longships (Viking Rolf, Viking Kadlin, Viking Alruna, Viking Egil, Viking Vilhjalm, and Viking Tialfi). Of the six new Longships, four are deployed on Viking’s most popular itineraries on the Rhine, Main and Danube Rivers; the remaining two sail the Seine River on Viking’s Paris and the Heart of Normandy itinerary. Later in the year, Viking debuted a seventh new river ship for 2016, Viking Osfrid, which is inspired by the Longships design and specifically built for the Douro River, bringing the company’s total number of ships in Portugal to three.
Viking River Cruises continued its extensive fleet-wide expansion in 2014. In a multi-phased event that took place over 24 hours, the company christened 16 of its award-winning Viking Longships. The first-of-its kind ceremony was subsequently certified by a Guinness World Records™ adjudicator as 'The Most Ships Inaugurated in One Day by One Company.' Viking already held the previous record, having christened 10 new ships in one day in 2013.
A total of 11 new ships debuted for Viking River Cruises during 2013: Viking Bragi, Viking Skadi, Viking Tor, MS Vienna, Viking Var, Viking Forseti, Viking Rinda, Viking Jarl, Viking Atla, Viking Baldur, and Viking Magni.
