During Covid, you had a lot of time to think about traveling. You have always wanted to travel to Europe but the thought of all the logistics is a barrier. Here are 5 good reason to consider a Viking River Cruise to Europe:
- Cruising the Rhine of Danube river is a great introduction to historic Europe. You unpack your suitcase once and start enjoying your vacation. If you booked your air with Viking, they will pick you up at the airport and drop you off at the foot of your ship. At the end of the cruise they deliver you to the airport.
- The most cosmopolitan cities developed along the rivers, the world’s first trade routes. From iconic “must-sees” like Paris, Amsterdam and Budapest to quaint villages and towns waiting to be discovered, a river provides you easy access to savor the delights of both.
- River cruisers spend more time in the cities, towns and ports along the way. Included shore excursions consist of guided tours that help guests become well-acquainted with the culture, art and history of their destinations. In addition to guided tours, guests can roam freely around local stops or arrange optional shore excursions. There is always ample opportunity to find something to do in every port, whether it’s visiting an ancient castle, attending a classical concert or enjoying a famous museum.
- River cruises are great for everyone, especially those desiring a more relaxed and intimate form of travel. Individuals who have never stepped foot on a ship before will enjoy the relative ease of a river-bound trip with little chance of seasickness. Furthermore, with a focus on cultural exploration of locations, river cruises are perfect for those with a curiosity about art and history, or a general interest in travel. Every river is unique, and each tells a different story—not only of the countries through which it flows, but also of its locks, canals, scenery and bridges.
- Cruising along a river is much different that an ocean cruise. You are close to both shores, so you can enjoy the scenery from your room or on the top deck. Also, on a Viking River Cruise, many of the docks are located right in the middle of town, so after dinner, you can walk off the ship and enjoy a stroll in the town or an evening performance at a local venue.
