Viking River Cruises Reviews

Dining
In Europe, all meals aboard are prepared by European chefs and consist of European-style food adjusted for Americans. In China, all aspects of your dining experience are overseen by Western European hotel management, and Viking River Cruises ensures that your meals onboard and ashore meet their high standards of quality and choice.

Generally, breakfast is a substantial America-style buffet. Lunch offerings are generally lighter and may include soup, salad, sandwich bar and/or a pasta dish, choice of entre and dessert. Dinner is a multi-course meal with a selection of entrées.

In China, you will have a number of Western lunches and dinners as well as some that will be Chinese cuisine served family-style. Many of the Viking River Cruise Cruisetours, both in China and Europe, include one or more festive meals featuring regional specialties.

Activities
Viking River Cruises offers programs to further enhance your understanding and knowledge of your selected European or Asian destinations. These include, lectures, demonstrations and theme dinners. With highlights featured both ashore and onboard the ship, it's a wonderful way to enrich your adventure with an offering of cultural and historical experiences you won't find anywhere else.

Typical Cruise Day: All of the Viking River Cruise itineraries have been designed to give you the best possible balance of shore excursions and time cruising past riverside scenery. Depending on your cruise itinerary, you may have a tour in the morning, return to the ship for lunch, and have another tour in the afternoon. On some days, you have only one tour in the morning or afternoon and cruise for the other portion of the day. Some cruising is done during the night. Some itineraries contain one or more full days of cruising due to the exceptional quality of the river scenery and restrictions of local river authorities.
