Viking recently debuted Treasures of the Danube, a 10-day itinerary with overnights in Budapest, Vienna and Passau. Starting this spring, journey through southern Germany, Switzerland and France over 11 days on Rhine & Main Explorer, also a new itinerary. Additional Mississippi River itineraries ranging from 8 to 22 days in length are available as well.

Viking's thoughtfully designed itineraries explore local culture, cuisine and traditions through engaging experiences on and off the ship. Many port calls include tours of UNESCO World Heritage sites, for example, and ships dock right in the heart of town, putting you within walking distance of shops, restaurants and attractions. On board, you can enjoy lectures, cooking demonstrations, wine tastings and entertaining performances, all highlighting the destinations visited.

With Viking Inclusive Value, everything you need is covered in the upfront price: your stateroom, one shore excursion in every port of call, unlimited Wi-Fi, all onboard meals and complimentary wine, beer and soft drinks at lunch and dinner. Specialty coffees, teas and bottled water are also provided at all times on the ship. Meals served in onboard restaurants feature regional cuisine and use locally sourced ingredients.

Viking Longships celebrate innovative engineering and understated sophistication, with public areas that embrace the outdoors and are filled with natural light. The Aquavit Terrace at the bow of each 190-guest vessel serves as a viewing area and a spot for alfresco dining. All staterooms have river views, and half of them boast full-size verandas. Among the accommodation options are 445-square-foot Explorer Suites with two full rooms and private wraparound verandas.
