River cruising is one of the fastest-growing trends in travel, perfect for experienced or novice travellers alike. Once you’re settled aboard your Viking River Cruises ship, you’ll glide along the world’s most legendary rivers and watch the world come to you.
You’ll see exciting destinations in
Europe, Russia & Ukraine, or China up close. With each of our trips, you’ll enjoy a varied itinerary and unparalleled opportunity to immerse yourself in local cultures and traditions and you’ll experience it all without the 'work' of travel.
Unlike a coach tour where you spend more time on the road than in your destination, or an ocean cruise with endless hours at sea, with Viking River Cruises you’ll visit a port a day on virtually every itinerary. You’ll be surrounded by ever-changing scenery right in the heart of your destination. And our intimate ships (averaging just 150 guests) often dock right in the town centre, allowing you to walk off your ship into the heart of your destination.
When you come onboard one of our modern, deluxe ships, you’ll find:
- A knowledgeable Cruise Manager and English-speaking crew
- The highest standards of friendly, attentive service consistently throughout our fleet
- Fine gourmet dining featuring traditional favourites and regional specialities
- Accommodation in outside, river-view cabins with private bathroom and shower
- Many cabins with hotel-style beds and large picture windows that open
- Beautifully appointed public areas with a single-seating restaurant, bar and lounge
- A non-smoking environment
Viking River Cruises brings more than 180 years of river cruising experience to every cruise. Since our merger with European-based KD River Cruises in 2000, we’ve become the world’s most knowledgeable and most experienced river cruise line.
