Viking Cruises

Viking was founded in 1997 with the purchase of four ships in Russia. In 2000, the company purchased Europe’s KD River Cruises in order to grow its fleet, to leverage 40 years of river cruising experience and acquire rights to prime docking locations in key European cities.

The company currently operates a fleet of more than 60 state-of-the-art ships which have received numerous accolades since their launch, from industry experts and travellers alike. Viking was recently voted the #1 River Cruise Line by Condé Nast Traveler in their 2017 Readers’ Choice Awards.
