FLORENCE, ITALY
The centre of Italian
Renaissance art and
architecture, Florence is
where history blends effortlessly
with modern Italian design.
Florence's beauty has long
been romanticised in literature,
but its picture-perfect vistas
and stunning palazzos ensure
an enchanting visit. Home to
Michelangelo's David and the
famous Ponte Vecchio, this city
is an art and culture paradise.

BUDAPEST, HUNGARY
Budapest is Hungary's legendary capital and a UNESCO
World Heritage site. It is grand and dramatic, eclectic and
elegant. Easy to explore, and even easier to love. Originally
two cities, Buda and Pest, separated by the blue ribbon of the River
Danube, they are now joined. There is no more magical way to arrive
in Budapest than along its beautiful river. And there are few more
central places to stay than Viking's prime docking location in the
heart of the city.

BERGEN, NORWAY
Surrounded by majestic snow-capped
mountains, magnificent fjords and
glaciers, sits the colourful and ancient
city of Bergen. Founded in 1070 on what was a
Viking settlement, Bergen's rich heritage as a
Hanseatic League trading port can still be seen in the
beautifully preserved and vibrantly painted wooden
buildings of Bryggen Wharf, now protected as a
UNESCO World Heritage site. All Viking ocean ships
are Norwegian-flagged and registered in Bergen, so
you will enjoy a prime docking location alongside
Bryggen Wharf.
