Viking round the world river cruise.

Highlights of the Danube, main and rhine

A Danube River cruise unveils Europe’s rich and dramatic history. Glittering cultural capitals, lush vineyards, magnificent monasteries and endless scenic splendour line the river’s banks.The scenic Main River seems to take its time on its circuitous route to the Rhine, twisting and arcing its way at a leisurely pace through Germany’s scenic landscapes. Throughout its past, it has served as a geographic and cultural divide, separating languages, cuisines and religions. Today, this lazy waterway is a source of pride for all Germans, lined with picturesque preserved forestland, sprawling vineyards and some of the nation’s most beloved cultural and historic landmarks. A Rhine River cruise takes you into the heart of Middle Europe, where stately castles, fairy-tale villages and cultural centres have long been witnesses to history. The river’s banks are brimming with historic treasures, natural beauty and vibrant capitals.
