Spotlight on: Viking River Cruises

A river cruise takes the best aspects of cruising, and combines it with the best of a guided tour.  Unpack only once just like on a cruise, and explore the cities you’ve dreamed about visiting.  River cruises are much more convenient than a land tour, and can visit ports that traditional cruise ships can’t reach.  And with Viking River Cruises you’ll “spend less time getting there and more time being there”.Viking River Cruises has the largest fleet of river cruise ships in the world.  Their cabins are the largest in the industry and feature more deluxe amenities than any other river cruise line.  However their greatest feature is the over 29 amazing itineraries  they offer to exciting places like Russia, Austria, Egypt, Cambodia, China and more.  Plus in 2014 Viking is charting new territory with the launch of their first deep-sea ship ,the Viking Star and their first-ever ship in the US which will sail the Mississippi river.
