A Viking journey is all about exploration and discovery, and some of the most surprising discoveries are on board in our beautifully appointed rooms, exquisite dining choices and curated on-board enrichment program.

Because we own and operate our ships, no detail escapes our attention — that’s the Viking difference. We became the number one river cruise line in the world by always putting the needs of our valued guests first, and we will stop at nothing to maintain our high standards. Join us on board and discover why our guests choose to return to our river cruises again and again.

Our award-winning Viking Longships have long set the standard in river cruising, featuring streamlined Scandinavian design and floor-to-ceiling windows creating elegant, inviting interiors bathed in natural light. Blond wood, clean lines and serene, minimalistic public spaces – walking through a Viking ship you’d be forgiven for forgetting you’re on a cruise and not, as it might seem, in a polished Scandinavian hotel.

In Egypt, Asia and the USA we have custom-built ships specifically for those rivers and those experiences – while still retaining the unique Viking feel for which our fleet has become internationally renowned.

Spacious Staterooms and Suites

Each of our spacious staterooms and suites –  the largest and most spacious suites on Europe’s rivers –  offer deluxe comfort during your cruise. Whichever category you choose, your hotel-style bed topped with European linens and duvets provides the perfect place to turn in after a full day exploring Europe’s great towns and cities. You’ll also feel pampered by bathrooms equipped with heated floors and premium Freyja™ bath products.

On Board Enrichment – bringing culture and history to life

We are proud to partner with some of the world’s leading cultural organisations in order to provide guests a curated on board experience like no other. Our guest lecturers provide insights on your destination’s art, music, architecture, geopolitics and more. Destination performances, cooking demonstrations, port talks, wine tastings and regional musicians round out an onboard enrichment program second to none.

Fine cuisine and exciting dining opportunities are a fundamental component of any Viking river cruise. Our talented chefs are dedicated to creating unique dishes that reflect the destinations you are visiting, as well as some timeless classics. Focussing on locally sourced produce, paired with the best regional wines, every meal on our river ships is an event.
