Indulge in onboard amenities such as a fine-dining restaurant, cozy bar and lounge, library, and expansive sun deck.

With Viking's exclusive patented corridor configuration—a distinctive feature of our Viking Longships—they are able to offer a variety of stateroom choices, from the deluxe comfort of spacious Veranda and French Balcony Staterooms to Veranda and Explorer Suites.
Viking’s river cruise ships blend modern elegance with Scandinavian design, offering spacious staterooms, gourmet dining, enriching cultural experiences, and panoramic views for an intimate and immersive journey on iconic waterways.
Our award-winning Viking Longships® showcase innovative engineering, streamlined design and understated elegance for the most comfortable European river cruise experience available.
Viking River Cruises include guided shore excursions, gourmet dining, complimentary wine and beer with meals, onboard enrichment programs, and free WiFi.
The Rhine River Cruise is one of the best options for first-time travelers. It features breathtaking castle views, charming European towns, and immersive cultural experiences in Germany, France, and Switzerland.
Viking River Cruises typically range from $2,000 to $15,000 per person, depending on itinerary, cabin type, and season.
Viking offers river cruises throughout Europe, Asia, and the U.S., with popular routes including the Danube, Rhine, Seine, Douro, and Mississippi Rivers.
Viking includes many amenities in its pricing, such as meals, wine & beer with lunch and dinner, shore excursions, WiFi, and cultural programming. However, optional excursions, gratuities, and airfare are additional costs.
Viking River Cruises are designed for adults and do not accommodate children under 18, making them ideal for couples, solo travelers, and groups looking for a relaxed, cultural experience.
It's best to book at least 6-12 months in advance, as Viking River Cruises are popular and often sell out early, especially for peak seasons.
The best time depends on the destination. Spring and fall offer mild weather and fewer crowds, while summer is great for warmer temperatures. Winter is perfect for Christmas market cruises.
