THE VIKING DIFFERENCE As an independently owned company, we are able to do things differently. Our decades of experience give us an unrivalled level of expertise. And with the largest and most innovative fleet of ships in the world, we are consistently voted best river cruise line by all the major players. SMALL SHIP EXPERTS On a Viking river ship, you will sail into the heart of your destination, so you can explore up close and in depth. Our innovative, award-winning Viking Long ships have set the standard in river cruising: our intimate vessels have all the amenities of a fine hotel, providing the ideal opportunity to travel to a new destination each day, where enriching discoveries are usually just a short walk from your ship. CENTRAL DOCKING Our 'Grandfather Rights' on Europe's waterways mean we own the docking locations and therefore have priority, and you arrive at the heart of your destination. THE VIKING WAY While our included and optional shore excursions cover cultural and historic highlights, we also go beyond, sharing with you The Viking Way with our Local Life, Working World and Privileged Access experiences, opening doors to people and places otherwise difficult to visit. CULTURAL ENRICHMENT Culture Curriculum, our exclusive onboard program, brings local history to life with lectures on history and art, tastings of vintage wines from your destinations, restaurant menus inspired by local cuisine, informative port talks and enriching destination performances of regional and classical music. DESTINATION FOCUSED DINING Our highly trained chefs are passionate about food and committed to providing an enriching culinary experience. In our elegant Restaurant and the Aquavit Terrace - our al fresco dining area at the bow of the ship - you will enjoy exquisite food with hospitable, attentive service. Viking's river ships boast the most al fresco dining of all the cruise lines, because there are few things in life more delightful than enjoying fine food in the fresh air while watching the stunning scenery glide past. GENUINE, THOUGHTFUL SERVICE Every member of our Swiss-trained staff, from stateroom stewards to our Guest Services team, is dedicated to personally hosting you. We are so confident we will exceed your expectations that we have guaranteed our award-winning service, and are the only cruise line to have done so.
