Imagine cruising for eight days down one of Europe’s best-loved rivers – the Rhine – from Switzerland’s historic and vibrant Basel – recent host of Eurovision to the livable and lively Amsterdam.

Discover the turreted fortresses, grand cathedrals, historic cities, medieval towns and spectacular scenery of the Middle Rhine—a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Taste the region’s renowned white wines, the roots of its terraced vineyards reaching back to Roman times. Savour the various culinary traditions of Alsace. From Amsterdam and Cologne to Basel, this journey reveals a rich landscape of beauty and culture.

Simply unpack once, let the dedicated Viking crew do the rest, and relax on board their award-winning Viking Longships.

Local guides are there to immerse passengers in the history and culture of each destination with their “enriching excursions”.
