Destination focused. Culturally enriching. Carefully curated.

As The World’s Leading River Cruise Line®, Viking® believes in offering you extraordinarily well-designed cruises that bring you closer to the cultures of the world. Its intimate vessels sail into the heart of your destination—where new discoveries are just a short walk from your ship.

One of the best ways to immerse yourself in new cultures is to explore the world by river. That is why we designed elegant, intimate ships with all the amenities of a fine hotel. Our ships gently carry you to the world’s greatest cities, deliver you to the center of charming towns and villages and connect you to your destination.

This small ship, destination-focused approach to river cruising has earned Viking a highly recognized place in the industry. Last year, the company was voted the #1 River & Ocean Cruise Line by both Condé Nast Traveler and Travel + Leisure. Discover for yourself why Viking truly is The World’s Leading River Cruise Line®.

Viking brings you closer to the cultures of the world with destination-focused itineraries designed to help you explore and engage with your destination through its food, culture and customs. Sail with like-minded travelers on The Thinking Person’s Cruise®, a culturally rich, immersive experience. And the award-winning Viking Longships® have set the standard in river cruising with spacious Veranda Staterooms, the first-ever true (two-room) suites on Europe’s rivers, al fresco dining and more.
