The dominant name in river cruising is Viking, which has by far the most ships of any line.
Viking's marketing program is second to none, so if you've ever turned on a television or done an internet search, you probably are familiar with the brand and know Viking River Cruises include lots of no-cost inclusions like free shore excursions as well as beer, wine and soft drinks with lunch and dinner.

In fact, their commercials are so inviting that I dare say you've often found yourself deferring the usual DVR fast forward or "skip ad" feature to not only watch those cinematic images but have come to recognize the narrator's voice.
When you hear the opening strains of classical music, your mind might wander to beautiful castles and vineyards along calm European Rivers from their ads.
Most people choose the Rhine as their first European river cruise, perhaps taking this "trip of a lifetime" to celebrate a landmark anniversary or retirement.
They enjoy it so much, however, they often follow up with a Danube cruise within a couple of years.
An increasingly popular destination is Portugal, selected as Travel+Leisure's Destination of the Year for 2016.
Those with more time can combine a river cruise with a land trip through Spain, perhaps on a guided tour with Globus.
And, of course, who can think of Europe without contemplating romantic Paris and French cuisine?
Set your beret at a jaunty angle and cruise through Normandy or Provence, or both!
But Viking River Cruises are not limited to Europe.
One of their most popular vacations is through inscrutable China, a land where you definitely want to be in trusted hands to thoroughly enjoy and comprehnd your total experience.

I could go on raving about their magnificent itineraries and the wonders of river cruising long after you stopped reading (and probably already have done so). Viking Ocean takes their river cruise experience to the open seas.
And Viking is just one brand in a growing market.
When you're ready to book your next trip of a lifetime, you don't have to go it alone.
In me, you have a friend in the travel industry.
"Better service leads to better trips!"
