River cruises demonstrate advantages especially in multi-country tours in Europe, as they mitigate travel fatigue by boat and car among various destinations, as well as alleviate the weariness of frequent hotel changes, and packing, unpacking and carrying of luggage. After boarding, you could relax and enjoy the journey.

River cruises sail inland rivers, where there are no choppy waves, allowing you to freely enjoy the cruise travel without concerns of seasickness.

River cruises offer sun deck, terrace or veranda that allows you to appreciate the varying scenery on both banks to gain unique photography perspectives.

Viking Cruises are even not equipped with inside staterooms, allowing you to, whether in morning or evening, rest on the sun deck or in the room accompanied by picture-perfect river views.

River cruises generally berth by day and sail by night, so you'll wake up at your next destination with ample time for on-shore tours.

Itinerary arrangements are enriched and unhurried, enabling you to slow down and truly immerse in travel pleasure - follow tour guides to visit renowned scenic spots, then use free time to explore on your own or pursue upgrade tours, and further experience local cultures or cuisines.

Most European river cruises sail along the Danube or Rhine rivers, berthing at multiple destinations on the way, including some famous historical cities and featured towns that may be hard to reach or discover without taking a river cruise.

Viking Cruises, in particular, boasts prime docking locations in multiple destinations in Europe, allowing you to walk to major tourist areas of the destinations once ashore.

River cruises generally accommodate hundreds of passengers, thus offering a more serene atmosphere compared to large sea cruises with a capacity of thousands of passengers. Typically, such cruises are not equipped with large entertainment amenities, but instead provide cultural recreational activities related to destinations.

Viking river cruises have a capacity limit of 180 passengers, with a minimum age limit of 8 years old; meanwhile, the cruises offer experiences of local folk custom performance, European pastry making, German language mini-class, etc., adding serene and cultural vibes to the journey.
