Proudly Australia's Most Trusted River Cruise Operator

We’re honoured to be named Reader’s Digest Most Trusted River Cruise Operator.

Trust isn’t built overnight. It’s earned, voyage by voyage. We’ve spent more than 28 years building that trust by delivering meaningful, enriching travel experiences to curious travellers. This award is more than a title, it’s a reflection of the confidence our guests place in us every time they choose to explore the world with us.

From the moment you step on board one of our award-winning Longships, you’ll experience the Viking Difference. Elegant Scandinavian design, serene spaces bathed in natural light and thoughtful touches that make you feel at home.

Our river journeys are designed for curious travellers who value depth over distraction. That’s why we offer:

• More time in port, so you can truly connect with each destination.
• No kids, ensuring a peaceful, refined onboard atmosphere.
• Everything you need included, from enriching shore excursions to complimentary wine with on board meals.
• Culturally immersive itineraries that bring history, art and local life into focus.

When our Chairman Torstein Hagen founded Viking, his vision was clear – to create destination-focused voyages for the Thinking Person. So, whether you choose to explore the rivers of Europe, Egypt, Southeast Asia or the USA with us, you can expect more than just a river voyage. With Viking, you’ll enjoy exceptional service, immersive cultural experiences and a journey that feels both personal and profound.

Thank you Australia, for placing your trust in us. We look forward to welcoming you on board and showing you why Viking continues to be the most trusted name in river cruising.
