Dear Traveler,
Beyond the cobblestone streets and lush vineyards typically encountered on a river
cruise are the lesser-known gems that make the journey truly magical. Allow Viking
to help you uncover the treasures of your destinations, revealing not only timeless
wonders but also unexpected delights.
TIME-HONORED FAVORITES & NEW ITINERARIES
Perennial favorite Rhine Getaway presents highlights of the legendary Rhine—
from canal-laced Amsterdam to beautiful Basel—in just eight days. Our classic
Romantic Danube program showcases the magnificent Wachau Valley and lively
capital cities of Budapest and Vienna.
New itineraries include springtime 10-day Holland & Belgium in Bloom as well as
the soul-stirring Oberammergau, The Passion Play, offering a rare opportunity to
visit Oberammergau, Germany, in 2020 to witness the once-in-a-decade dramatic
depiction of Christ’s trial, suffering and death.
DID YOU KNOW?…• Viking offers more destinations on more rivers than any other cruise line
• Viking includes an excursion in every port
• Entering our twenty-first season, Viking continues to reign as the world’s
most award-winning river cruise line
We look forward to sharing our world with you.
Sincerely,
Torstein Hagen
Chairman

THE THINK ING PER SON’S CRUISECreated for curious travelers, with true explorer spirits
WE ALL TRAVEL TO EXPLORE, TO LEARN, TO UNDERSTAND. At Viking, we
believe travel should be more than just a trip — it should be a doorway to cultural
insight and personal enrichment. That is why our cruise itineraries are designed
to help you explore and engage with your destination through its food, culture,
countryside and customs.
BEFORE you travel, we provide you with
materials to help you plan and anticipate
your journey, from filmographies that
inspire wanderlust to recommended
reading that informs and enlightens.
ASHORE, you might accompany the
ship’s chef to a local market; go behind
the scenes at a famous theater company;
tour a glassblower’s workshop; or view
a museum’s private collection.
ONBOARD activities are also designed for
enrichment and renewal. We offer lectures
on history and art, cooking demonstrations
of regional favorites, menus offering local
cuisine and more.
CONNECT with like-minded travelers
on board ships designed for comfort and
an ease of discovery. Our aim is to help
you feel more connected — to newfound
friends and your destinations.
THE SM A LL SHIP E XPERTSViking takes you closer to your destination
THE BEST WAY TO IMMERSE YOURSELF in new cultures is to explore the
world by river. That is why we designed elegant, intimate ships with all the
amenities of a fine hotel. Our ships gently carry you to the world’s greatest
cities, deliver you to the center of charming towns and villages, and connect
you to your destination.
TRAVEL WITH EASE. Unpack once
and relax to an ever-changing canvas
of breathtaking landscapes. Dock
in the center of small towns. Viking
reveals the true character of the world’s
historic waterways by delivering you to
their doorsteps.
INNOVATIVE SHIPS ENHANCE
YOUR JOURNEY. Viking Longships
have set the new standard in river
cruising, expertly crafted to bring the
outside in. With the most al fresco dining
on the rivers and vast windows that bathe
the interiors in sunshine, your destination
and the exhilaration of the outdoors are
always within reach.
Because we own and operate our
ships, no detail escapes our attention.
Join us, and learn why we have
consistently been the most awarded
cruise line worldwide.

OBERAMMERGAU’S EPIC PLAY. Born from
a promise made to God, Oberammergau’s
Passion Play tells the story of the trial,
suffering and death of Christ. In 1633, as
the plague swept through Germany, the
citizens prayed for mercy. They were spared,
and today still honor their pledge to stage
this play once a decade.
MUNICH, A CITY STEEPED IN TRADITION.
Famous for its storied breweries, Oktoberfest
and BMW automobiles, Munich is a city
steeped in German culture and traditions.
The Rathaus Glockenspiel comes to life daily

JOURNEY HIGHLIGHTS
COLOGNE’S ICONIC CATHEDRAL. With an
average of 20,000 visitors per day, Cologne’s
Dom is Germany’s most-visited landmark. This
UNESCO Site is the biggest Gothic church in
Northern Europe and its distinctive twin spires
crown the world’s largest church facade. Its
glorious cycle of 14th-century stained glass
windows is the largest intact set in Europe.
MEDIEVAL TOLLBOOTHS. Castles along the
Rhine River Valley were originally constructed
as fortified residences to protect land from
marauders — but castle owners also utilized
their advantageous positions to impose tolls
on passing merchants. This may explain
why there are so many castles on the Rhine
between Mainz and Bonn.

JOURNEY HIGHLIGHTS
THE DANUBE’S IRON GATE. The Iron Gate
area of the lower Danube is one of the world’s
most scenic river gorges. Enormous white chalk
cliffs flank the river, which forms part of the
boundary between Serbia and Romania. Marvel
at the large carved face of the ancient Dacian
king Decebalus on the cliff sides.
CHARLEMAGNE’S DREAM. Some 1,200 years
ago, Emperor Charlemagne contemplated
connecting the Rhine, Main and Danube
Rivers to facilitate river travel through Europe.
This vision was finally realized when the
Main–Danube Canal was completed in 1992.
Employing ingenious river locks, vessels can
now travel 2,200 miles through 10 countries,
from the North Sea to the Black Sea.

PALACE OF THE POPES. Inspired by conflicts
in Rome, Pope Clement V moved the papal
court to Avignon in 1309. He built the Gothic-
style Palace of the Popes, which was home
to seven popes in as many decades. Today, it
still overlooks Avignon — symbolic of a brief
time when this river town was the cultural
and religious center of the known world.
ROMAN ARTIFACTS. The Roman Empire’s
reach was enormous, and evidence of the
Romans’ presence in France is everywhere.
In Vienne, you will see the beautifully
preserved Temple of Augustus & Livia, a Roman
amphitheater and other structures. And in
Arles, visit Les Arènes, an arena that seats
20,000 and is still in use today.

Follow the trade route of centuries past as you explore the beautiful French
countryside along the Rhône River. Discover Roman ruins in Lyon and Vienne,
and visit the celebrated wine-producing region on a tour to Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
This 8-day cruise encapsulates France’s bucolic charm.
� Explore Lyon
JOURNEY HIGHLIGHTS
SPECTACULAR GORGES OF ARDÈCHE.
Between Tournon and Viviers, the banks along
the left side of the Rhône open up onto a
sweeping plain that stretches to the French
Alps. On the right bank, thick limestone layers
form steep cliffs and the river has carved deep
gorges in the soft rock.
A BRIDGE LIKE NO OTHER. Tournon is a
charming walled city with an imposing castle,
while Tain l’Hermitage is a tranquil wine village
at the foot of the steep vine-clad hills. The two
are connected by a bridge completed in 1849.
Its design would later be used for the Brooklyn
Bridge, Golden Gate Bridge and many others.

heart along the Rhône River, enjoy a wine tasting in Beaujolais, discover

JOURNEY HIGHLIGHTS
THROUGH ARTISTS’ EYES. Southern France
has long served as a creative muse to artists
who are drawn to its warm light and vibrant
landscape. Mid-19th century painters such
as Renoir and Monet found inspiration here.
Others soon followed. Van Gogh produced
some of his most famous works in Arles,
including Café Terrace at Night.
ICON OF FRANCE. Visible from most points
in Paris, the Eiffel Tower was built and used
for the 1889 Paris Exposition. Ten years later it
was nearly torn down, but was saved because
of its useful radio antenna. Now it is the most
recognizable symbol of Paris. From the top,
catch remarkable views of the city.
