Find answers to some of the most common questions about river cruising here.
The gourmet chefs on board Viking longships prepare fresh food daily with a range of different menu options, including vegan and vegetarian dishes. We also cater to guests with food allergies or intolerances. Just let us know your specific requirements when you book.
Booking stats suggest that the Danube, Moselle, and Rhine are the most popular in Europe, but Viking is experiencing increasing traffic on the Nile and Mekong. River cruising is unique for every traveller, and our expert team can help you explore the different options and find the perfect cruise for you.
It’s true to say that none of our passengers experience seasickness, even those who suffer from it when on the ocean. River cruising is gentle and calm, and there is no rocking motion, which causes those unpleasant feelings of nausea. Viking longships move at a gentle pace to allow you to take in the stunning views, and land is always visible on both sides of the vessel to reassure those who get anxious on large bodies of open water.
Viking’s guided excursions and tours are the envy of other river cruise companies, but they are not compulsory, and guests are always free to explore on their own. Viking’s expert guides can recommend highlights and attractions and offer plenty of tips on the best way to get around and any hidden gems worth a visit.
It’s always best to bring a range of clothing for a Viking river cruise with comfortable, casual wear for port excursions. Longer cruises travelling through different countries will encounter varying climates and temperatures, so always have something for the heat and cooler, wet weather. Having something a little more formal for dinner on board the ship is nice. Your reservation expert can discuss your cruise’s likely temperatures and weather conditions, depending on the location and time of year.
Cruising is magical all year round, whether you are sailing into Vienna to the twinkling lights of the famous Christmas markets or enjoying the stunning scenery of the Rhine Gorge under brilliant blue summer skies. Some cruises definitely favour certain seasons, and your friendly booking adviser can discuss the different options and destinations with you when you book.
Explore the difference with a Viking River Cruise. Visit some of the world’s most famous locations with a unique perspective and insight into river travel complemented by five-star service and fascinating excursions. Viking is voyaging for the curious to create lifelong memories every time you step aboard.
