(4:10 p.m. EDT) -- Viking is set to expand its range of shore excursions and land extensions on the cruise line's European river voyages.
The new experiences include Zeppelin airship excursions over the Ruhr Valley and Cologne in Germany; dinner at the Nikolaihof Winery in Austria's Wachau Valley; a sights and flavors tour of Belgrade; a visit and wine tasting at Slovakia's Red Stone Castle; and Christmas-time culinary tours of Rouen and Berlin.
The cruise line is also introducing a series of Small Group Experiences designed to offer passengers intimate and immersive ways to explore iconic landmarks and local culture. Options include tours of the Palace of Versailles, Schönbrunn Palace, Český Krumlov, Bratislava and the French village of Colmar.
"Europe remains a favorite destination for our guests—particularly those interested in experiencing a river voyage for the first time," said Torstein Hagen, Executive Chairman of Viking. "As we continue to expand our offerings in Europe, we are pleased to introduce new experiences that allow our guests to engage with their destination in the Viking way—through local food, culture and traditions, or even from the air in a Zeppelin."
Viking is also introducing a new lineup of fully guided land extensions beginning in 2026 and 2027, offering deeper immersion in various European countries.
This year, the list of land extensions St. Moritz, Lombardy and the Alpine Train; Croatia and Slovenia, with visits to Zagreb, Ljubljana and Lake Bled; and Best of Belgium, covering Brussels, Bruges and Antwerp.
In 2027, the cruise line will offer Turin & Barolo land extension in Italy as well as Seville & Cordoba, in southern Spain.
