Viking operates more than 60 river vessels in some of the world's most magnificent places. The company's ships are sleek and well-appointed, with fine wood furnishings and spacious public areas, and every room features a view of passing vistas with a picture window, a French balcony or veranda. Gourmet cuisine, superb service from the staff, and knowledgeable Program Directors enhance your experience.

At least one port a day is visited on every itinerary. Viking owns docks in many of the cities it visits, and passengers are able to disembark in the heart of town without waiting in lines. English-speaking local guides lead tours ashore, but you can also explore on your own.

Accommodations, most meals on and off the ship, some beverages and many shore excursions are included in the price. Viking also features a cultural enrichment program with authentic folkloric entertainment, lectures and cultural presentations provided on board and ashore.
