How Many River Cruise Ships?!!
A river ship isn’t just a river ship you know. Well not if it’s a Viking river cruise ship it isn’t, and it is this that sets Viking apart from all the other river cruise lines. Their fleet is now over 60 ships, sailing rivers all over the world, and each ship is designed especially […]
Read MoreViking River Cruises – Award Winning Food!
Knowing that river cruise ships are much smaller and given that the facilities are smaller, you might be forgiven for thinking that the food on board is going to be nowhere as good, or varied, as on an ocean cruise, you would be wrong! I must admit, having seen the size of the galley on […]
Read MoreRiver Cruising – why you should choose Viking!
