Viking advantages—quality, service and value
Viking River Cruises operates the world’s largest and best fleet of deluxe vessels built specifically for river travel. With extensive background in European river cruising, Viking is the most knowledgeable company in the business. Viking was the first to offer river trips in Russia, and our China management team has decades of experience helping travelers see China. As a result, more than half a million people have joined Viking on magical, enlightening journeys through these exciting places.
Elegant, Comfortable Ships
Viking ships are Scandinavian in design, with open, airy interiors by famed Norwegian maritime architects Yran & Storbraaten. Guests enjoy all the amenities they might expect in a fine hotel, plus expansive, panoramic views throughout.
Consistently Excellent Service
Wherever Viking sails, you enjoy the same standard of service—because we manage it all: nautical, technical, catering, sightseeing and guides.
A More Intimate Experience
Because Viking ships are designed to accommodate between 150 and 300 guests, it is easy to make new friends. Share a drink with the couple you met on the day’s tour, or dine with interesting people in the open-seating restaurant. And you can forget about waiting in long lines to embark, disembark or have a meal.
Cultural Enrichment
On every Viking itinerary, expert Program Directors provide background, context and regional perspective. Demonstrations, lectures and workshops supplement on-shore exploration. And now, we take you to a wider range of destinations than ever before—which means more cultural traditions, cuisines and wines, games, music and dances to experience and enjoy. This adds up to a personalized, in-depth experience wherever you travel with Viking.
