VIKING EXPANDS AND TAKES TIME TO SMELL THE TULIPS

The Viking river cruise fleet will swell to 69 ships with seven new vessels in 2019, all with that Scandinavian-chic aesthetic. Six of these will be Viking’s signature Longships, while one (featuring 53 staterooms) will accommodate the growing demand for the line’s Portugal’s River of Gold itinerary on the Douro. Two new itineraries feature in the 2019 brochure: the eight-day Rhône Explorer in southern France and the 10-day Holland & Belgium in Bloom. This voyage celebrates the colour of the European spring from Amsterdam to Antwerp.
