Viking also hosts craft and cooking demonstrations, yet another way to connect with the locales in which you’re traveling. Watch as regional artisans demonstrate time-honored craft traditions such as glassblowing, lace making and wooden shoemaking. Culinary demonstrations showcase masterful preparations of regional favorites such as Austrian apple strudel, Rüdesheim coffee and more.
A river or ocean cruise with Viking is designed to get you closer to your destination. From more time spent in ports of call – and included excursions at each one – to onboard fare made with fresh local ingredients, you’ll get a taste of Europe in more ways than one.
Because one of the very best ways to get to know a place is through its food, Viking’s experienced chefs offer a variety of regional dishes that reflect the history and culture of the destination you’re visiting. Viking includes wine and beer selections with your onboard lunch or dinner, as well as regional wines; this way, what’s in your glass will be just as local as what’s on your plate.
Between meals, you’ll experience ports of call along rivers like the Rhine, Danube, Seine, Douro and others. Regardless of where your tour takes you, Viking arranges exclusive entry for its guests to cultural treasures across Europe. Imagine visiting seldom-seen collections with private after-hours access to museums, exclusive access to private homes and palaces, or attending cultural performances of folklore, ballet and opera… and so much more.
Always check out the recommended daily offering on Viking’s onboard menu, a pairing of the chef's favorite regional dishes with local wine or beers. And of course, if you're craving something more classic, Viking also serves traditional favorites.
