Taking a Viking River cruise offers a unique and enriching travel experience across Europe, Asia, Egypt, and America. In Europe, travelers can explore historic cities, picturesque landscapes, and cultural treasures along famous rivers like the Rhine, Danube, and Seine. Asia offers exotic and diverse destinations, with cruises on the Mekong river providing immersive experiences in local traditions and breathtaking scenery. In Egypt, cruising the Nile River allows guests to delve into ancient history, witnessing iconic landmarks such as the pyramids and temples from the comfort of a luxurious ship. Meanwhile, in America, Viking River cruises offer journeys through the heartland, showcasing the natural beauty and rich history along the Mississippi river. Each cruise features well-appointed accommodations, exquisite dining, and curated excursions, making for an unforgettable and hassle-free travel adventure.
The Viking Way of Exploration
Every Viking journey begins with a carefully-designed itinerary that combines a varied number of
ports into a cohesive travel experience. In each port, we select sights and experiences that capture
the essence of the destination. From there, we create informative talks to introduce the destinations
to our guests before they arrive; we bring experts on board to present lectures and workshops that
provide critical background and context, as well as performers from the destinations; and we help our
guests prepare and anticipate their journey through recommended reading lists, informative videos,
suggestions for films to watch and other content.
The Viking Way® of exploration offers behind-the-scenes insights and opportunities that distinguish
us from other travel companies. While we always feature the expected and iconic—such as visits to
renowned museums and notable landmarks—we also work hard to offer our guests Local Life, Working
World and optional Privileged Access® experiences, opening doors to places otherwise difficult to visit.
