When you think of Viking Cruises you may picture a small ship, hopping from port to port in a range of destinations, endlessly circling the globe. However, what we think about (and would love for you to picture) is LUXURY on water ...mixed with adventure, excitement, and the perfect dash of refinement.

Think river cruising is just for your parents/grandparents…think again! With hiking and biking tours, tours that incorporate food, wine and connections with the locals, these trips appeal to guests of varying ages and activity levels. Plus, river cruises are an ideal way to see multiple places within one trip. You board your floating hotel, unpack once and wake up in a new city (sometimes even country) each day!
