Viking River Cruises

Established in 1997 by a Dutch and Swiss Consortium, Viking River Cruises is the world's largest river cruise line. As Viking Cruises put it, a river cruise allows the passengers spend their time being in a particular area and not getting there. This is so because these ships dock right in the heart of each city. Hence the destination-intensive itineraries give travelers maximum sightseeing opportunities, with English-speaking guides, motor coach tours and guided visits to historic landmarks. With just 100-250 cruisers aboard at any point of time, Viking Cruises provide an easy, friendly and cozy ambience with panoramic windows, sun decks and promenades for admiring the beautiful passing landscape
