Waste no time discovering all that European cities, some American destinations, Egypt, Vietnam, and other incredible locations can offer you with Viking River Cruises, one of the most popular river cruise lines in the world. Their magnificent fleet sails the riverways of Europe, Vietnam, Cambodia, Egypt, and the US. Each ship is Scandinavian in design, with spacious public areas and luxurious accommodations with a river view. The intimate size of each Viking River’s ship allows them to cruise through rivers and visit ports of call that traditionally large cruise ships cannot. Some of their vessels, such as Viking Astrild and Viking Beyla, were custom-designed to travel through the shallow waters of the Elbe. Some ships, like Viking Saigon and Viking Tonle, were designed to navigate the Mekong River. Viking Mississippi was purpose-built for the Mississippi River, and ships like Viking Osiris and Viking Ra were specifically built to cruise the Nile.
Since Viking River Cruises specializes in visiting quaint ports of call, each guest can enjoy an in-depth cultural experience and get one complimentary shore excursion per port, which is led by a local English-speaking guide who offers you an authentic inside look at each destination. Viking also has optional for-fee excursions that heighten your experiences with exclusive opportunities, such as interacting with locals, participating in a hands-on workshop, or private tours. Onboard enrichment programming ties your experience together with lectures, local performances, demonstrations, and in-depth port talks that get you ready for the next port.
Viking’s well-trained team of chefs works tirelessly to deliver carefully prepared, gourmet dishes right to your table. An elegant yet casual open-seating experience, dining onboard Viking River Cruises combines regional specialties with traditional American fare. Each night, dinner becomes the culinary highlight with an amazing five-course fine dining experience for every traveler. The attentive and courteous staff is always there to deliver each and every one of your desires.
Staying onboard a Viking River cruise feels like you’re staying in one of the world’s finest hotels. Each of their staterooms and suites features hotel-style beds with luxurious linens and duvets, plus a private bathroom with a shower, a flat-screen TV with infotainment system, and much more. The majority of accommodations have at least a French balcony, if not a full-sized veranda, so you can enjoy private views and fresh river air whenever you desire. Staterooms that feature no balcony options have half-size or large windows.

Don't just take it from us that Viking River Cruises is one of the best river cruise lines in the world! Viking has been and continues to be the recipient of many awards and accolades, from a variety of organizations. For instance, in 2024, Viking River Cruises was voted "#1 for Rivers" by Condé Nast Traveler's Readers’ Choice Awards and honored to be named #1 for the "Best Customer Service for Cruise Operators" by Newsweek Magazine and the "World's Best" by Travel + Leisure's (marking 20 years of recognition since 2004). In 2023, Cruise Critic’s Cruisers’ Choice Awards and Women's Health Magazine's Travel Awards both rated Viking the "Best River Line." The line also enjoys a 99.8% satisfaction rating from passengers commenting that their staff has met or exceeded their expectations.
In 2024 Viking River Cruises welcomed two newest river ships, Viking Sobek and Viking Hathor, to cruise Egypt. They are identical sister ships to Aton and Osiris that offer 12-day cruises along the Nile River. The Viking Nile fleet will be joined by more 82-guest vessels, including Amun, Ptah, Thoth, and Sekhmet, in 2025 through 2027.
In 2023, Viking announced an expansion of their river fleet in Southeast Asia. Viking Tonle is expected to debut in 2025, joining her identical sister ship Viking Saigon in voyages along the Mekong River, exploring the rich history and culture of Vietnam and Cambodia.
Also in 2023, the line shared their plans to welcome several new Viking Longships® to their European river fleet in the upcoming years. Viking Annar, Dagur, Eldir, Gyda, Haki, Honir, Nerthus, and Rota will begin sailing the Rhine, Main, Danube, and Seine Rivers in 2025 through 2027.
In 2022, Viking officially named four new Longships® designed specifically to navigate the Seine River. Fjorgyn, Kari, Skaga, and Radgrid can bring up to 168 guests to the heart of Paris, docking a short walk from the Eiffel Tower.
Inspired by the award-winning Viking Longships®, the 386-guest Viking Mississippi was built in 2022 to offer impressive cruises along the Mississippi River in the US.
