WHY SAIL WITH VIKING?
The Viking® Difference
Destination focused. Culturally enriching. Carefully curated.
As The World’s Leading River Cruise Line®, Viking believes in offering extraordinarily well-designed cruises that bring travelers closer to the cultures of the world. Viking’s intimate vessels sail into the heart of each destination – where new discoveries are just a short walk from the ship.
Viking has fine-tuned the art of exploring the world in comfort. Their ships have been thoughtfully engineered by nautical architects to bring the outside in. Graceful staterooms and suites were designed for ultimate comfort and serenity, and light-filled public spaces inspire and refresh throughout the journey. Plus, the state-of-the-art Viking Longships® – the newest and largest river fleet in Europe – feature premium amenities, river cruising’s first-ever true suites and the most al fresco dining on Europe’s rivers.
Viking believes that travel should be more than just a trip – it should be a doorway to cultural insight and personal enrichment. That is why their itineraries are designed to help travelers explore and engage with a destination through its food, culture, countryside, and customs.
Viking’s included shore excursions and carefully curated optional tours provide the perfect overview of must-see cultural and historic highlights. But The Viking Way® of exploration goes beyond the expected and iconic, offering Local Life, Working World and optional Privileged Access® experiences. While onboard enrichment programs bring local culture and history to life, complementing your time ashore.
Sail with Viking and experience a journey of discovery created for curious travelers like you, with true explorer spirit.

Holland & Belgium in Bloom
Embark on a Journey of Discovery with Viking Cruises
Viking Cruises offers more itineraries in more destinations worldwide, with the coming year
to include the new Holland & Belgium in Bloom itinerary. AAA Central Penn invites you to join us April 22 - May 2, 2019, as we set sail on this 10-day itinerary through the inland waterways of The Low Countries – Holland and Belgium.
Enjoy scenic cruising through the vast network
of canals and rivers, passing under pretty bridges and enjoying streets lined with gabled houses of centuries past. Stops in key cities will allow you to soak up Dutch and Flemish culture and immerse yourself in their history. Cycle through tulip fields or stroll the renowned Keukenhof Gardens, the world’s largest floral park. Admire the stunning beauty
at both indoor and outdoor exhibits of millions
of vibrant blooms including tulips, hyacinths, crocuses, and daffodils.
See the windmills of Kinderdijk, learning why they were built and how they work to help control flooding. Tour a working windmill to see the pumping mechanism and living quarters at this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
During a visit to the ancient shipping village of Hoorn, enjoy a visit with a local family, getting acquainted with the customs and daily life in the Dutch countryside.
Step back in time as you witness one of The Netherlands’ most dramatic chapters come to life. Learn how Operation Market Garden – the planned attack by the Allied forces in late summer 1944 portrayed in the epic war movie "A Bridge Too
Far" – unfolded, and pay homage to the many soldiers who lost their lives.
Rotterdam, one of Europe’s most dynamic cities, provides an opportunity to explore the modern face of Holland. The city, rebuilt after the destruction suffered during World War II, is known for architecture that is quite innovative.
Finish your cruise with an overnight stay in Europe’s diamond capital, Antwerp. The additional time in this city affords an opportunity to explore the historic quarter and to sample the delights of Belgium’s cuisine.
