Just as the original Vikings sailed the oceans in innovative longships centuries ago, Viking cruise line designs and builds award-winning ships for voyages across the oceans and rivers of the world. Since being founded by Torstein Hagen in Norway in 1997, the company has blossomed into one of the world’s best cruise lines, with the largest river fleet, ground-breaking ocean ships and expedition vessels delivering the curious to far-flung destinations.
LUXURY CRUISING
River cruising with Viking
For a quarter of a century, Viking has led the way on river voyages and now has the largest fleet in the world, sailing the Rhine, Rhône, Seine and Douro in Europe, the Mississippi in the USA, the Nile in Egypt and the Mekong that meanders through Cambodia and Vietnam.
In Europe, voyages range from eight to 23 days on the award-winning Viking Longships that carry only 190 guests. Choose from a variety of stateroom categories and two-room suites with full-size verandas.
There has been such a demand for Europe departures that Viking has released an additional 81 departure dates in 2023 as well as opening its 2025 season.
WE LOVE ...
The Aquavit Terrace - the only outdoor restaurant on any European river ship. The sophisticated Scandinavian design. The environmentally considerate features, including solar panels, an on-board organic herb garden and energy-efficient hybrid engines.
