Dear Traveler,

Beyond the cobblestone streets and lush vineyards typically encountered on a river

cruise are the lesser-known gems that make the journey truly magical. Allow Viking

to help you uncover the treasures of your destinations, revealing not only timeless

wonders but also unexpected delights.

TIME-HONORED FAVORITES & NEW ITINERARIES

Perennial favorite Rhine Getaway presents highlights of the legendary Rhine—

from canal-laced Amsterdam to beautiful Basel—in just eight days. Our classic

Romantic Danube program showcases the magnificent Wachau Valley and lively

capital cities of Budapest and Vienna.

New itineraries include springtime 10-day Holland & Belgium in Bloom as well as

the soul-stirring Oberammergau, The Passion Play, offering a rare opportunity to

visit Oberammergau, Germany, in 2020 to witness the once-in-a-decade dramatic

depiction of Christ’s trial, suffering and death.

DID YOU KNOW?…• Viking offers more destinations on more rivers than any other cruise line

• Viking includes an excursion in every port

• Entering our twenty-first season, Viking continues to reign as the world’s

most award-winning river cruise line

We look forward to sharing our world with you.

Sincerely,

Torstein Hagen

Chairman

THE 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

cruise line worldwide.

JOURNEY HIGHLIGHTS

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.

king Decebalus on the cliff sides.

CHARLEMAGNE’S DREAM. Some 1,200 years

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.

JOURNEY HIGHLIGHTS

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.

Named after the seaport city of Porto, port is a

Portuguese fortified wine aged in barrels.
