Some of the most cherished memories of a European vacation are of shared meals and interesting culinary discoveries. On a river cruise, you can explore local delicacies during your day in port and relax over a regional meal for dinner back on the ship. On Viking® cruises, beer, wine and soft drinks with lunch and dinner are always included in your fare.

Perfect Itinerary for a First Time Cruiser
The Rhine Getaway itinerary is the most popular river cruise and the ideal introduction to Europe for a first-timer. Begin or end your journey in Amsterdam where you can explore the city on foot. Visit the Rijksmuseum, the Anne Frank House or simply stroll alongside the Amstel River. This cruise takes you to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Kinderdijk, a network of windmills set along Dutch canals.
Cruising the charming Rhine River
Further stops in Germany include spectacular castles, medieval fortresses and historic cathedrals all enjoyed with the comfort of luxurious accommodations and gourmet restaurants where you can bond with fellow guests after a day of sightseeing. Ask one of our travel agents about extending your time in Europe with a pre-cruise stay in Amsterdam or a post cruise package in Basel, Switzerland.
