THE WORLD’S LEADING RIVER CRUISE LINE...BY FAR®

EUROPE � RUSS IA � UKRAINE � CHINA � SOUTHEAST AS IA � EGYPT

2 019 R I V E R C R U I S E S

Dear Traveler,

The “where” of your next journey presents a pleasant conundrum. Perhaps Europe is

on the horizon, with its gleaming capitals and peaceful waterways. Or maybe China,

a rugged land of deep river gorges and ancient traditions. Russia is another option,

enigmatic and captivating in its architecture and intriguing history.

As for the “how,” the choices become clearer. Viking has a long history of earning

accolades from seasoned travelers like you. Most recently, we have been named one of

the top river cruise lines in Travel + Leisure’s annual World’s Best Awards. This is just

one of the many ways in which we have been recognized for our outstanding service,

cultural immersion, shore excursions, destinations, ships and value…the things that

matter to you most.

DID YOU KNOW?…• Viking has been honored multiple times by Condé Nast Traveler on their

Gold List and Readers’ Choice Awards

• Viking was honored with five awards, including “Best Shore Excursions” and

“Best Value for Money,” in Cruise Critic’s 10th Annual Editors’ Picks Awards

• Viking reigns as the world’s most award-winning river cruise line

Our 2019 season highlights the little-known gems and legendary icons of the

world’s most storied locales. Discover scenic vineyards and medieval towns on

our 15-day Grand European Tour, or experience the cities of Shanghai and Beijing

and walk along the Great Wall during our 14-day Imperial Jewels of China.

To celebrate our 21st anniversary, the offers featured in this month’s brochure

are part of our Anniversary Sale. Call today to take advantage of the savings.

We look forward to sharing our world with you.

Sincerely,

Torstein Hagen

Chairman

P.S. Dates for our 2020 river cruises are now available. Make your reservation

by August 31, 2018 to enjoy 2020 cruises at 2019 prices.

THE R IVER WOR LD OF VIKING

Wherever you choose to go—Europe, Russia, Ukraine,

China, Southeast Asia, Egypt or beyond—Viking takes you

to places you can only fully appreciate by river, and takes

you there in comfort.


THE THINK ING PER SON’S CRUISECreated for curious travelers, with true explorer spirits

WE ALL TRAVEL TO EXPLORE, TO LEARN, TO UNDERSTAND. At Viking, we

believe travel should be more than just a trip — it should be a doorway to cultural

insight and personal enrichment. That is why our cruise itineraries are designed

to help you explore and engage with your destination through its food, culture,

countryside and customs.

BEFORE you travel, we provide you with

materials to help you plan and anticipate

your journey, from filmographies that

inspire wanderlust to recommended

reading that informs and enlightens.

ASHORE, you might accompany the

ship’s chef to a local market; go behind

the scenes at a famous theater company;

tour a glassblower’s workshop; or view

a museum’s private collection.

ONBOARD activities are also designed for

enrichment and renewal. We offer lectures

on history and art, cooking demonstrations

of regional favorites, menus offering local

cuisine and more.

CONNECT with like-minded travelers

on board ships designed for comfort and

an ease of discovery. Our aim is to help

you feel more connected — to newfound

friends and your destinations.

THE SM A LL SHIP E XPERTSViking takes you closer to your destination

THE BEST WAY TO IMMERSE YOURSELF in new cultures is to explore the

world by river. That is why we designed elegant, intimate ships with all the

amenities of a fine hotel. Our ships gently carry you to the world’s greatest

cities, deliver you to the center of charming towns and villages, and connect

you to your destination.

TRAVEL WITH EASE. Unpack once

and relax to an ever-changing canvas

of breathtaking landscapes. Dock

in the center of small towns. Viking

reveals the true character of the world’s

historic waterways by delivering you to

their doorsteps.

INNOVATIVE SHIPS ENHANCE

YOUR JOURNEY. Viking Longships

have set the new standard in river

cruising, expertly crafted to bring the

outside in. With the most al fresco dining

on the rivers and vast windows that bathe

the interiors in sunshine, your destination

and the exhilaration of the outdoors are

always within reach.

Because we own and operate our

ships, no detail escapes our attention.

Join us, and learn why we have

consistently been the most awarded

river cruise line worldwide.

“Viking has made cruising history.”– Gene Sloan, USA Today

“Best River Cruise Ship,” marking the first time this award has been presented

to an entire class of ship. And Viking topped Condé Nast Traveler’s 2017 Readers’

Choice Awards as the #1 River Cruise Line.

COLOGNE’S ICONIC CATHEDRAL. With an

average of 20,000 visitors per day, Cologne’s

Dom is Germany’s most-visited landmark. This

UNESCO Site is the biggest Gothic church in

Northern Europe and its distinctive twin spires

crown the world’s largest church facade. Its

glorious cycle of 14th-century stained glass

windows is the largest intact set in Europe.

MEDIEVAL TOLLBOOTHS. Castles along the

Rhine River Valley were originally constructed

as fortified residences to protect land from

marauders — but castle owners also utilized

their advantageous positions to impose tolls

on passing merchants. This may explain

why there are so many castles on the Rhine

between Mainz and Bonn.

JOURNEY HIGHLIGHTS

PALACE OF THE POPES. Inspired by conflicts

in Rome, Pope Clement V moved the papal

court to Avignon in 1309. He built the Gothic-

style Palace of the Popes, which was home

to seven popes in as many decades. Today, it

still overlooks Avignon — symbolic of a brief

time when this river town was the cultural

and religious center of the known world.

ROMAN ARTIFACTS. The Roman Empire’s

reach was enormous, and evidence of the

Romans’ presence in France is everywhere.

In Vienne, you will see the beautifully

preserved Temple of Augustus & Livia, a Roman

amphitheater and other structures. And in

Arles, visit Les Arènes, an arena that seats

20,000 and is still in use today.

� Enjoy tasting local wines

heart along the Rhône River, enjoy a wine tasting in Beaujolais, discover

THROUGH ARTISTS’ EYES. Southern France

has long served as a creative muse to artists

who are drawn to its warm light and vibrant

landscape. Mid-19th century painters such

as Renoir and Monet found inspiration here.

Others soon followed. Van Gogh produced

some of his most famous works in Arles,

including Café Terrace at Night.

ICON OF FRANCE. Visible from most points

in Paris, the Eiffel Tower was built and used

for the 1889 Paris Exposition. Ten years later it

was nearly torn down, but was saved because

of its useful radio antenna. Now it is the most

recognizable symbol of Paris. From the top,

catch remarkable views of the city.

JOURNEY HIGHLIGHTS

LUXOR. The site of the ancient city of Thebes,

Luxor is known as the “world’s greatest open

air museum,” with the ruins of the Karnak

and Luxor Temple complexes standing within

its borders. No other city reached the glory of

Thebes, which flourished for 500 years. It was

also home to the god Amun, a deity associated

with Egyptian royalty.

THE TEMPLE OF HORUS. In the form of a

falcon, a colossal statue of the god Horus

greets you at the door, while columns, walls

and doorways, covered in reliefs, read like an

encyclopedia on ancient Egyptian thought. The

most complete and best-preserved temple in

Egypt, the Temple of Horus was constructed

between 237 BC and 57 BC.

OCE A N & R I V ER VOYAGESJoin Viking where the river meets the sea

Viking introduces the definitive way to explore the world in comfort. We call it Ocean & River

Voyages, an innovative marriage of our award-winning river and ocean cruises. Designed

for those who want to get the most from our rivers and oceans itineraries, these enriching

journeys highlight the historic treasures, colorful cultures and seldom-seen sights of both

inland and coastal destinations, so you will enjoy the full Viking experience on one

seamless itinerary. It is an epic voyage that only Viking can provide.

• More discoveries, from a river’s village-dotted banks to historic and charming coastal ports.

• The best of both worlds: Cruise the award-winning Viking fleet of river and ocean ships.

• A seamless experience: Take in the cultural enrichment and onboard understated elegance for which Viking is known—by river and ocean.

• A greater value: Fly overseas just once, yet enjoy two voyages.

V IK ING OCE A N VOYAGES

Experience the world differently: up close and in depth. Our small ship size—just 930

guests—gives you access to small ports that larger ships cannot reach, and allows you

time to get to know your destination and its culture intimately, at a more relaxed pace.

On board, you will not find casinos, kids or umbrella drinks. Instead, you will get to know

your destination with delicious meals inspired by authentic regional flavors, enriching

Destination Performances, fascinating lectures and more.
