Why Choose Viking River Cruises

The Viking Way

While they deliver the expected and iconic (such as museums and landmarks), they also go beyond, and on most itineraries, Viking offer a Local Life experience, Working World experience, as well as Privileged Access experience. For example, they offer a number of home-hosted visits or trips to local markets so their guests can experience Local Life ; they provide experiences like the Kinderdijk windmills near Amsterdam or porcelain factory in Meissen, so guests can gain insight into the Working World.

With privileged access experiences, Viking have arranged exclusive entry for Viking guests to cultural treasures all around the world. Visit seldom-seen collections with before- and after-hours access to world-class museums; be a special guest at private homes and palaces not open to just anyone; or attend cultural performances of folklore, ballet, and opera to get an insider’s view during these private tours.
