The Viking River Cruise Experience

Europe River Cruises
To visitors, Europe is a colorful world of picturesque landscapes, legendary rivers, lush vineyards and hilltop castles. As you travel through Europe with Viking River Cruises, its rich history is arrayed before your eyes - Roman ruins, magnificent monasteries, hallowed universities, rural villages and sophisticated cities, and a vibrant collage of food, music, dance, costumes and languages recalling thousands of years of human history. Traveling with Viking River Cruises gives you the opportunity to experience and learn about all these aspects of your cruise destinations.

Russian & Ukrainian River Cruises
Viking River Cruises journey provides the perfect way to experience Russia's countryside, culture and two great cities, Moscow and St. Petersburg. Moscow, Russia's capital, boasts some 2,500 historical and architectural monuments, 70 museums, 50 theaters, 4,500 libraries and 540 colleges and research institutions. There is so much to see and experience there - Red Square, with the colorful onion domes of St. Basil’s Cathedral, the tomb of Vladimir Lenin and the massive 120-year-old GUM department store, the nearby Kremlin, and of course the city's world-famous Metro system. St. Petersburg provides gentler and more graceful pleasures with its romantic canals, baroque palaces and lovely avenues and squares designed along European lines. You will want to visit the Hermitage, both the historic Winter Palace and a world-class art museum with an extensive collection of works ranging from da Vinci and Michelangelo to Cézanne and Picasso; you will gaze in wonder upon the Peter and Paul Fortress with its baroque cathedral inside; and you will enjoy strolling and shopping along Nevsky Prospekt, the city’s main promenade, with its lively culture of street artists and performers.

Or, follow in the footsteps of the Cossacks along Ukraine's Dnieper River from Kiev to Odessa by way of Zaporozhye, Kherson and Sevastopol. See historic cathedrals and monasteries, monuments to Vladimir Lenin, displays of legendary traditional horsemanship, colorful folkloric costumes, music and dance, and museums displaying artifacts from bygone eras. There is a special coach tour to the ancient Tatar city of Bakhchisarai to visit the 16th-century Khan palace, heavily influenced by Turkish culture.
