River Cruises
A Viking Travel river cruise offers the high-end convenience and luxury of an ocean cruise combined with the in-depth experience of a land tour. Just step aboard, unpack once, explore, and enjoy.
A luxury river cruise is just the right pace for getting the lay of the land. Sitting on the top deck of a ship under brilliant blue skies, you gaze on fabled landscapes dotted with castles, villages, vineyards, lush forests, and historic sites. Then take a flight of stairs down, and you have all the amenities of a modern hotel – from restaurants, bars, and lounges to fitness facilities, spas, internet access, and comfortable staterooms.
Nothing is left to chance when it comes to making sure you’ll have the trip of a lifetime, with all your needs and requirements taken care of. That means that all you have to do is sit back, relax, and soak up the sights, smells, and sounds you encounter on the way.
