We set the standard for river travel, and continue to raise the bar
While other cruise lines pursue ever-larger ships, we follow a different path—our river voyages bring you closer to your destinations on elegant small ships, offering a more immersive and comfortable way to explore the world.
#1 for Rivers
With more than 450 awards to our name, we are proud to consistently be recognized by some of the world’s most prestigious publications—including being rated #1 for Rivers by Condé Nast Traveler readers five years in a row.
Privileged Access
We take you where others cannot. Our Privileged Access excursions provide you with VIP entry to cultural treasures that are otherwise closed to the public, from after-hours entry to world-class museums to exclusive musical performances.
Exclusive docking locations
From our premier docking locations, iconic landmarks are just steps away from your ship. For example, in Paris, our customized Seine Longships dock directly at Port de Grenelle, a mere 15-minute walk from the Eiffel Tower.
For curious travelers
Our voyages are designed For The Thinking Person™, with itineraries tailored to travelers who want to go beyond the typical tourist experience. Daily onboard presentations deepen your understanding of each destination, while our signature Working World and Local Life excursions immerse you in regional culture and daily life on shore.
Discover culturally enriching experiences, on board & on shore
Customize your experience
Cycle through Kinderdijk’s scenic grasslands and UNESCO-listed windmills in the Netherlands. Sample expertly paired wines and cheeses in Paris. Experience Vienna’s rich musical heritage during an enchanting evening concert. Or, spend the day at your leisure, exploring quaint riverside towns however you like. The beauty of river travel with Viking is in the flexibility, so you can follow your curiosities wherever they lead.
Sail in comfort
Our elegantly designed river vessels offer the comfort and tranquility of a floating boutique hotel. Patented features like a squared bow provide space for the Aquavit Terrace, an inviting indoor/outdoor lounge and dining area ideal for enjoying dinner with a view. All staterooms have windows that face the river. And, with no children on board, you can enjoy meaningful conversations and rejuvenate in a peaceful atmosphere.
A world of flavor
Inspired by the countries you visit on each itinerary, our highly trained chefs create authentic regional dishes using locally sourced ingredients such as Dutch gouda and Hungarian paprika. Local wines enhance your meal, with handpicked selections and onboard tastings that showcase an area’s quintessential varietals.
Experience unparalleled service
Our crew consistently goes above and beyond to make each guest feel welcomed and comfortable, from remembering your preferences to anticipating your needs. We are so confident that the service on board our ships will exceed your expectations, that we are the only cruise line to guarantee its service through the Viking Service Guarantee.
