Viking River Cruises Awarded Best River Cruise By Porthole Magazine

Viking River Cruises, offering a greater variety of destinations through Europe, Russia and China, has been voted as Best River Cruise for the first time by readers of Porthole Cruise Magazine in its 10th Annual Readers’ Choice Awards. The Readers’ Choice Awards are the result of voting by thousands of readers of the publication, which covers ocean and river cruising, reflecting their opinions about recent travel experiences they have had. Unlike ocean cruises, rivers provide easy access to city centers. You can sail directly to the heart of every destination and dock in the middle of town. Votes are cast both online and by mail over a several-month period.

Viking River Cruises, the world’s largest river cruise company, offers quality service, gourmet cuisine and comfortable scenic cruising along the majestic rivers of Europe, Russia and China. The company has been honored multiple times as the top river cruise line on Conde Nast Traveler’s “Gold List” and Travel + Leisure’s “World’s Best” Awards. Travel agents have also recognized Viking River Cruises in 2006 and 2007 as “Best Riverboat Cruise Line” by Travel Weekly, “Best River Cruise Line” by Recommend and Travel Agent magazines, and in 2006, 2007 and 2008 as “Best Overall Cruise Line for River Cruising” by TravelAge West. Since its 1997 inception, the company has grown to a fleet of 21 vessels, and provides unique, deluxe vacations to experienced travelers with an interest in geography, culture and history.
