Viking River Cruises

A Top River Cruise Company

River Cruising is different from Ocean Cruising. Viking knows how to make this a great experience. They start by including most all expenses in the base fare. This helps keep in check the cost the passenger pays for the cruise, and when compared with other vendors that part out the price to many different charges can help save money.

You can pick Viking cruises in Russia, Europe, China, and the Nile (Egypt). They typically have pre/post cruise nights as part of the entire tour. There are several options from which to choose with each of the boats. Yes these are boats, as boats sail rivers while ships sail the oceans.

What Makes River Cruising Different

More Port Time

Because you are on a river pulling into port is really not a very complicated task. This means you can easily stop at various ports for a while and move on to the next port. That said usually, you will spend a good day in port so you can see all of the sites.

You will find that pulling into port is not an expensive option because you will have many included tours while on the sailing. You can choose to take the included tour or go out on your own. It's all part of the beauty of this kind of cruising.

Your cabin will be a bit different. They are typically of decent size and almost all have some view outside of the boat. You can easily watch the scenery on the banks of the river. Of course you can go up top and sit in lounge to get an even better view of the banks.

With fewer passengers the crew get to know all of the passengers and the passengers each other. This makes for a more intimate cruising experience. It also allows the crew to help customize the cruise a bit more to what you want. If you are looking for particular experience in one of the ports and share that desire with crew usually the crew will do what they can to help make that experience happen for you.

Going on a river cruise gives you the opportunity to see many great places inland from the coast that you would not see when on a ship.
