The world’s leading river cruise line.

Since launching in 2012, our award-winning Viking Longships have set a new standard in river cruising; receiving acclaim for their innovative design, outstanding quality and state-of-the-art engineering. Thoughtfully designed to get you closer to your destination, they provide unprecedented levels of comfort. Plus, energy-efficient hybrid engines and strategically placed solar panels make them the smoothest and ‘greenest’ river vessels in the industry.

On board, you’ll find serene Scandinavian-style spaces, with floor-to-ceiling windows creating elegant and inviting interiors bathed in natural light. In your stateroom you’ll find heated bathroom floors, river views, and those in the spacious suites enjoy a full-sized veranda on which to relax. The Aquavit Terrace, revolutionary in concept and design, is the only outdoor restaurant on any river ship in Europe. Located at the bow of the ship, this beautiful alfresco dining area means you can truly dine in your destination.  

A cruise with us is as much about the destination as it is about the onboard experience, and we provide a complimentary shore excursion in every port of call providing fascinating insights into the countries, cultures, cuisine and history of each destination.
