Viking will debut a number of
new itineraries
this year. Visit charming Bavarian towns, make dumplings with Wachau
Valley apricots and celebrate Vienna's musical heritage on
Rhine, Main & Danube Odyssey.
Or, discover the rich history and striking architecture of cities like
Koblenz, Cologne and Kinderdijk on
Castles, Vineyards & Villages.
Viking's thoughtfully designed itineraries explore local culture,
cuisine and traditions through engaging experiences on and off the ship.
Many port calls include tours of UNESCO World Heritage sites, for
example, and ships dock right in the heart of town, putting you within
walking distance of shops, restaurants and attractions. On board, you
can enjoy lectures, cooking demonstrations, wine tastings and cultural
performances, all highlighting the destinations visited.
With
Viking Inclusive Value, everything you need is covered in
the upfront price: your stateroom, one shore excursion in every port of
call, free Wi-Fi, all meals and complimentary wine, beer and soft drinks
with lunch and dinner on board. Specialty coffees, teas and bottled
water are provided at all times on the ship. Restaurants use locally
sourced ingredients and serve regional cuisine as well as familiar
classic dishes.
Viking Longships are known for innovative engineering and understated
elegance, with public areas that embrace the outdoors and are filled
with natural light. The Aquavit Terrace at the bow of each 190-guest
vessel provides a viewing area and opportunities for al fresco dining.
All staterooms have river views, and half of them boast full-size
verandas. Among the accommodation options are 445-square-foot Explorer
Suites with two full rooms, a French Balcony and a private wraparound
veranda.
In addition to the new itineraries above, Viking continues to offer its
most popular sailings on the Rhine, Main and Danube rivers: 8-day
