Viking operates the largest fleet of their own river vessels, and they are proud to offer you the best ships in each region where they travel. Most of the Viking ships were built since 2000, and the rest have been recently renovated. Viking river ships are smaller than ocean vessels, so every stateroom has an outside view of the river and passing scenery. And the flat-bottomed shape of these ships ensures a safe and smooth ride with no worries about motion sickness. Viking ships are specially designed to navigate the world’s great rivers and provide convenient access to every destination along the way.
