In 2015, Viking River Cruises will take destination cruising from the rivers to the ocean with the maiden season of the beautiful Viking Star. A brand new ship. A brand new cruise line. These cruises will allow you to truly explore your destination—through its food, culture, countryside, and customs. Perhaps you accompany the ship’s chef on a trip to a local market; go behind the scenes of a famous theater company; or even view private collections and hidden vaults at world-class museums.
These exciting ocean cruises are centered around where you go, not just how you get there—with hand-picked itineraries so you can immerse yourself in history, music, art, cuisine—everything about your destination. In addition, they include excursions led by knowledgeable local guides in every port of call.
