There is something timeless about exploring the world by river.
Life slows to an unhurried pace and each day brings a new destination
and new stories to discover. You might find yourself gliding past quaint
villages along the Rhine and Danube, tasting fine wines along France's
Rhône and Dordogne rivers, standing before ancient temples along the
Nile or meeting the vibrant riverside communities of the Mekong.
For nearly 30 years, Viking has been setting the standard in river voyages,
not through size or spectacle, but through innovation, thoughtful design
and meaningful experiences for our curious guests. What began with just
four river ships, has grown into a fleet of over 100 award-winning river,
ocean and expedition vessels exploring 21 rivers, five oceans and all
seven continents.
Each ship is purpose built for the region it sails, combining our signature
Scandinavian design with warm hospitality that defines the Viking
experience. On board, you'll find light filled spaces and thoughtful
touches that make you feel right at home. Whether you're sharing stories
with new friends on the Aquavit Terrace, watching the scenery drift by
from your stateroom, or joining a guest lecture that brings history to life,
every moment is designed to be both comfortable and enriching.
This year, we are thrilled to introduce our new river voyages along India's
Brahmaputra River. These journeys capture the colour, energy and deep
cultural heritage of this region. It's a new chapter in our story and
another way for you to experience the world in greater depth.
Whether you are planning your first river voyage or returning for another,
this brochure is your guide to discovering the world's rivers with Viking.
We hope it sparks your imagination and helps you choose the perfect
voyage for your next journey.
We can't wait to welcome you on board.
Warmest regards,
Michelle Black
