EUROPE
RIVER CRUISES WITH VIKING CRUISES Cruising
Europe's Waterways
Experience the European vacation of your dreams. You’ll glide along broad
rivers with breathtaking scenery. Plus you’ll get an intimate glimpse of
Europe so you can discover the hidden treasures along these storied
waterways. And you’ll do this all while freeing yourself from the “work”
of traveling. Of course, you have other travel choices. A bus tour
allows you to visit several different destinations, but you pack and
unpack each day and spend hours on the road. An ocean cruise lets you
travel with your very own floating hotel—but you spend more time at sea
than seeing destinations. Only river cruising allows you to travel in
comfort, getting to know the real Europe up close and in person.
Discover river cruising with Viking River Cruises. Travel aboard our
floating hotels along the most interesting rivers in Europe. As you
cruise between ports, indulge in gourmet cuisine, attend an informative
lecture or relax on the sun deck. Soon you’ll discover how carefree
river cruising can be. “What makes a river so restful to people is that
it doesn’t have any doubt—it is sure to get where it is going, and it
doesn’t want to go anywhere else!

The two capitals of the Austro-Hungarian Empire are combined in a
classic itinerary and a chance for an in-depth visit to these beautiful
cities. Start with a visit to Vienna. More than six centuries of
Habsburg rule have left their mark in the arts, in music, in
architecture. Today, visitors enjoy the world-renowned museums, baroque
churches and palaces, and splendid parks that are the legacies of those
times. Vienna has retained its traditional beauty and elegance as well
as a courtly pace that enhances its physical attractions. Then travel
along the Danube region to Budapest, the capital of Hungary.
Budapest, built on both sides of
the Danube, offers the sophisticated traveler the familiarity of
European culture with a tantalizingly distinctive Hungarian flavor.
