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 we offer a Local Life experience and a Working World experience, as well as an optional 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 ; and they offer the option for their guests to experience Privileged Access to museums, private collections and after-hours events curated especially by Viking such as their exclusive behind-the-scenes tour partnerships with Lobkowicz Palace in Prague, Czech Republic and the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia.
