From romantic vistas to lush terrains, the world's most iconic and naturally beautiful sights are always close enough to touch on a Viking cruise. Catch views of landmarks — like Rheinstein Castle, perched high above the Rhine river — from your Viking Longship, which includes the French Balcony Stateroom that offers sweeping vistas through its floor-to-ceiling sliding glass door.

Boasting elegant Scandinavian spaces, unprecedented comfort and some of the largest suites, Viking ships have been carefully engineered to help you stay connected to your destination. Sip an old-world varietal and dine al fresco on the expansive Aquavit Terrace^® as you watch the sunset and stunning landscapes slowly drift past your ship.

When you sail Europe’s rivers with Viking, you’ll step right from your ship into the center of town. In Bamberg, discover the history of the medieval Bavarian city situated along the Main-Danube Canal on an intimate walking tour. Marvel at the magnificent 11th-century cathedral, learn about the picturesque Town Hall and say “prost!” with a pint of the town’s distinctive rauchbier, or smoked beer.

Norway’s natural wonders are on full display on Viking ocean cruises in Scandinavia. Colorful Nordic towns nestled at the base of towering fjords greet you as your ship gracefully navigates narrow waterways. An ocean cruise with Viking delivers the best of Northern Europe — from historic cities to picturesque oceanside villages.

The discoveries don’t stop in Europe. Viking ocean cruises, embracing the same small-ship philosophy of its river cruises, deliver you to the sun-drenched shores of the Caribbean. Explore hidden coves on St. Kitts, view historic monuments in Puerto Rico and marvel at the dramatic tropical scenery of St. Lucia while enjoying the comfort and level of service that only an intimate ship can bring.
