Viking will debut its brand new Treasures of the Rhine itinerary in December 2023.
The cruise line said that the new river voyage establishes Viking as the “first line to operate year-round on Europe’s storied rivers.”
Torstein Hagen, Chairman of Viking said:
“The Middle Rhine is one of our most popular destinations—with constantly changing views of hilltop castles, historic towns and terraced vineyards along the steep valley sides, it is a region that will always be best explored by the river.
“Many of our guests have sailed the Rhine during other seasons, so we are pleased to offer a new option for those who may be interested in experiencing Europe during a quieter time of year.”
Viking’s Treasures of the Rhine Itinerary
The 10-day Treasures of the Rhine itinerary allows guests to discover the landscape and cultures of the Middle Rhine, a UNESCO Site with turreted fortresses, grand cathedrals, medieval towns and stunning scenery.
Guests can admire the terraced vineyards dating back to the Romans and taste the region’s renowned red and white wines.
Winter is an ideal time to visit and offers Viking guests smaller crowds, easier access to landmarks and opportunities to savour the culinary traditions of Alsace while exploring Amsterdam, Basel and Cologne.
Hosting 190 guests in 95 staterooms, the award-winning fleet of identical Viking Longships offers a variety of stateroom categories and true, two-room suites with full-size verandas.
Onboard amenities include a restaurant, bar and lounge, library and expansive sun deck.
The ships feature al fresco dining on the revolutionary Aquavit Terrace, elegant Scandinavian design and environmentally considerate features, such as solar panels, an onboard organic herb garden and energy-efficient hybrid engines for a remarkably smooth ride.
Booking Details
The new Treasures of the Rhine itinerary has prices starting from £1,595 per person if booked by 30 June 2023. *Subject to availability and terms and conditions.
