If you like ocean cruising, you will love river cruising...

Since Viking River cruises started its operations in the United States in 2001 there has been a dramatic growth in demand for river cruising, expanding at a rate more than three times that of ocean cruising. Many guests have found that river cruising is an even better way of experiencing the world than ocean cruising:

  • Small, intimate ships carrying 150 to 300 passengers
  • Comfortable staterooms like those you will find on an oceangoing vessel
  • Exciting destinations in the heart of Europe, Russia and China
  • All inclusive pricing including shore excursions—no hidden charges

To encourage more people to discover the joys of river cruising, Viking is offering a special promotion for travelers who have taken an ocean cruise: a $1,000 discount per couple on any 2009 Viking Itinerary. This savings is in addition to the early booking discount of up to $2,000 per couple that is being offered. This offer expires December 19, 2008.
