When it comes to river cruising with style, Viking River Cruises knows how to deliver the gold standard — and then raise it.


Think fewer passengers, more personal space, and itineraries that read like a European bucket list. Whether you're gliding down the Danube, exploring storybook villages along the Rhine, or tasting your way through France’s wine country on the Rhône, Viking wraps it all in comfort, culture, and that signature Scandinavian design.

Hotel room with a neatly made bed, blue patterned pillows, and a wall-mounted TV showing a menu. Large window with a river view. Calm ambiance.

✨ What makes Viking different?

Let’s start with the ships. Their sleek, modern longships are known for their spacious staterooms (many with full verandas!), locally inspired cuisine, and serene indoor/outdoor spaces perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine as castles and vineyards drift by.

Bright room with glass roof and river view. Beige sofas with patterned cushions, wooden tables and chairs. Calm, inviting atmosphere.

🎧 The included excursions?


They’re not filler activities. They’re the kind of well-curated experiences that dig deep into a destination — from behind-the-scenes access to UNESCO sites to walking tours led by passionate locals. You’ll leave each port with a new perspective, not just a souvenir.

Modern room with beige furniture and a vase of red flowers. Large windows offer a view of a river and trees with autumn foliage outside.

🌍 Why we love it for our clients:

Viking cruises are ideal for curious travelers who want their days to be enriching, not exhausting. You’ll unpack once, explore often, and return each night to a ship that feels more like a boutique hotel than a cruise ship.


Whether you're a seasoned cruiser or dipping your toes in for the first time, Viking delivers a refined, enriching, and effortless way to explore the world.
