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.
This small-ship, destination-focused approach to river cruising has earned Viking a place in the industry as not only the world’s most recognized cruise line, but also the most highly awarded one. Last year, the company was voted the No. 1 River Cruise Line by Condé Nast Traveler in its 2017 Readers’ Choice Awards and once again named one of the Best River Cruise Lines by Travel + Leisure readers in the 2017 World’s Best Awards.
