THE VIKING DIFFERENCE

CHAIN BRIDGE, BUDAPEST

As an independently owned company, we are able to do things differently. Our decades of experience give us an unrivalled level of expertise. And with the largest and most innovative fleet of ships in the world, we are consistently voted best river cruise line by all the major players. SMALL SHIP EXPERTS On a Viking river ship, you will sail into the heart of your destination, so you can explore up close and in depth. Our innovative, award-winning Viking Longships have set the standard in river cruising: our intimate vessels have all the amenities of a fine hotel, providing the ideal opportunity to travel to a new destination each day, where enriching discoveries are usually just a short walk from your ship. CENTRAL DOCKING Our ‘Grandfather Rights’ on Europe’s waterways mean we own the docking locations and therefore have priority, and you arrive at the heart of your destination. THE VIKING WAY While our included and optional shore excursions cover cultural and historic highlights, we also go beyond, sharing with you The Viking Way with our Local Life, Working World and Privileged Access experiences, opening doors to people and places otherwise difficult to visit.

DESTINATION FOCUSED DINING

CULTURAL ENRICHMENT Culture Curriculum, our exclusive onboard program, brings local history to life with lectures on history and art, tastings of vintage wines from your destinations, restaurant menus inspired by local cuisine, informative port talks and enriching destination performances of regional and classical music. DESTINATION FOCUSED DINING Our highly trained chefs are passionate about food and committed to providing an enriching culinary experience. In our elegant Restaurant and the Aquavit Terrace - our al fresco dining area at the bow of the ship - you will enjoy exquisite food with hospitable, attentive service. Viking’s river ships boast the most al fresco dining of all the cruise lines, because there are few things in life more delightful than enjoying fine food in the fresh air while watching the stunning scenery glide past. GENUINE, THOUGHTFUL SERVICE Every member of our Swiss-trained staff, from stateroom stewards to our Guest Services team, is dedicated to personally hosting you. We are so confident we will exceed your expectations that we have guaranteed our award-winning service, and are the only cruise line to have done so.

For complete itinerary details and videos, visit vikingcruises.com.au

LOBBY

WELCOME ABOARD Quietly elegant, wonderfully spacious and comfortable, stepping aboard your Viking ship feels like coming home. On every ship you are greeted with an abundance of space and natural light. Panoramic, floor-to-ceiling windows make the most of the glorious, everchanging scenery and, on most of our ships, the sleek Scandinavian design blends contemporary style with traditional comforts. Best of all, every stateroom has a window, French balcony or veranda. Find a comfy chair in the inviting lounge and gaze at the mesmerising views. Enjoy a cocktail at the bar. Curl up with a good book in the library. Head to the Sun Deck for wonderful all-round views and relaxation. Listen to a music recital or a fascinating talk on the places you will be exploring. Learn how to cook a local specialty. SERENE SCANDINAVIAN SPACES Without a golden tassel in sight, you will enjoy the smart Scandinavian design on board. Feel the difference in details such as the soft leather on the hand rails. The use of warm colour tones, natural wood and quality fabrics create light and airy spaces.

EXPLORATION MEETS RELAXATION When evening falls, enjoy a fabulous dinner in the elegant restaurant with its sparkling views over the water. In many places, your ship is moored until late or overnight, and you can step ashore for an after-dinner drink or stroll around town. Or head to the onboard bar and lounge, where you can relax accompanied by the soothing sounds of the resident pianist. Take in the evening air with a night cap on deck with new friends. Or, on the Viking Longships, enjoy a selection of films in the comfort of your stateroom. SWEET DREAMS Welcome to your stateroom. Elegant, spacious and so very inviting, a relaxing sanctuary with all the comforts of a fine hotel with a grand view. Because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing better than waking from a restful nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleep, luxurious linens promise sweet dreams. And because a beautiful bathroom is a necessity not an indulgence, your ensuite has a generous walk-in shower and fluffy towels. Premium shampoos and scented body lotions add to the ambience of a boutique hotel. Good morning or good night, it is simply perfect.

A JOURNEY OF FLAVOUR

D E L I C I O U S , H E A LT H Y A N D FR ESH CUISINE

On every Viking journey you can look forward to spirited food bursting with flavour and aroma. We believe that dining should be a grand adventure, and there is no better time or place to tantalise your taste buds than when you’re travelling. That’s why, as well as timeless classics, we create dishes that reflect the regions through which you’re travelling. LOCALLY SOURCED INGREDIENTS Provençal lemons, Hungarian paprika and dill from the onboard herb garden inspire our chefs to create authentic dishes. The crunch of walnuts melding with the heavenly trio of apple, cinnamon and butter as you take a bite of Apple Strudel. Artisan cheese from Lyon. And always a generous glass or two of wine from the local province. DESTINATION FOCUSED CUISINE Our signature “Taste of…” events introduce you to the food and drinks of the region. The “Taste of Germany,” for instance, features pretzels and sweet mustard, bratwurst and Kölsch. It is the perfect opportunity to mingle with fellow guests and sample the flavours of local culture.

L OC A L LY SOU R C ED , F R ESH PR OD U C E

EVERYDAY LUXURY Each meal is a special occasion aboard a Viking river ship. Feel the heavy texture of thick linen napkins and tablecloths. Delight in the sheerness of your wine glass and the fresh flowers decorating your table. Villeroy & Boch, Iittala and Marimekko crockery bring joy to your dining experience, just like the delightful company of your fellow travellers, inviting you to share the day’s new discoveries over another glass. IMPECCABLE SERVICE AMID CASUAL ELEGANCE Indulge in attentive table service in the upscale Restaurant as you sail into your next port. Greet the morning with a sumptuous buffet. Enjoy a savoury soup and a light salad at midday. Come evening, settle in for a relaxed, multi course finedining experience.

Call us on 138 747 (AU), 0800 447 913 (NZ) or contact your local travel agent

A TASTE OF WHAT'S TO COME Food is an integral part of every culture, and when you travel with Viking you can explore not just a destination but its cuisine too. CHOICE IS THE SPICE OF LIFE Wake up to a sumptuous breakfast with hot dishes cooked to order, fresh pastries, homemade jams, muesli and fresh fruit. Choose lunch on board, from a variety of courses in the Restaurant, to something lighter in the lounge. And if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re travelling on a Viking Longship, you can eat al fresco on the Aquavit Terrace.

SW ISS TR A IN ED STA F F

At dinner, indulge in a four or five-course meal in the ambient restaurant. Free-flowing wine (on the house, of course) perfectly complements the laughter and conversation set against the backdrop of the river. SMART AND CASUAL We want you to feel relaxed at all times, including dinnertime. Smart casual works for us, with no dinner jacket required. Our restaurants are also open-seating, so that you can choose where and with whom you want to dine. If you wish, enjoy a more casual meal, from a breakfast croissant to lighter evening fare, on the Sun Deck or Aquavit Terrace, our al fresco dining area at the bow of the ship.

H A U TE C U ISIN E

LIGHT AND HEALTHY Of course not everyone wants to indulge in a four or five-course dinner every night. Which is why we also offer a selection of lighter options and simple classics. If you are a vegetarian or have any special dietary requirements, simply let us know and you can look forward to delicious food that delights the taste buds. Enjoy!

Revolutionary in concept and design, the spacious indoor-outdoor seating area at the bow of the ship is one of the most popular spots to gather for a meal and watch your destination pass by. Enjoy a casual breakfast, lunch or dinner al fresco. Meet friends for drinks, or read a book â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all while enjoying breathtaking views and basking in the fresh air.

EUROPE If Europe were a book, it would be a hardcover pageturner. Its riveting historical plot would tell the stories of famous musicians, sculptors and genius painters; of vintners, bakers and farmers; of war heroes and resistance fighters; of royals and boundary breakers, of irreverent architects, scientists and seafarers. If Europe were a book, its pages would overflow with alpine peaks, endless patchworks of farmed fields, and bustling cities. And there would be a whole chapter on castles overlooking meandering rivers.

RUSSIA AND UKR AINE The soul of the samovar is singing a tune of warm-hearted hospitality. Russia is full of riddles and surprises to Western thinking, according to Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. The people of the largest country in the world are passionate, creating swirly-spired onion domes of gold and striking colours, and making lithe, white swans dance across a Tchaikovsky-infused lake. A day at the Hermitage gives you a taste. Ukraine’s ancient and splendid trade route, the Dnieper River, is lined with rich cultural treasures, onion-domed churches and rural folkways that recall the days of Vikings, Tsars and Cossacks. Visit Kiev’s Cave Monasteries. Marvel at the riding skill of Cossack horsemen. And trace the footsteps of history at Odessa’s Potemkin Steps.

FR ANCE You may well wonder, as did FranĂ§ois Mitterrand, how you can govern a country with two hundred and thirty-eight varieties of cheese. The French know a thing or deux about celebrating joie de vivre, recruiting the expertise of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vintners and producers of champagne. You too may indulge your tastebuds with oysters and truffles, flaky croissants and chocolate desserts. Dreamy lavender fields, starry skies and terraced vineyards inspired Vincent van Gogh, while the exquisite gardens of Giverny adorned the canvasses of Claude Monet. And, as Audrey Hepburn noted, Paris is always a good idea.

THE WORLD ON A PLATE Nothing captures the essence of a destination quite like its cuisine. That is why we create dishes that reflect the regions through which you are travelling. Best of all, every onboard meal is included in the price, as well as wines, beer and soft drinks with lunch and dinner. Relaxation is key, which is why the dress code in our restaurants is smart casual (no dinner jacket required), and why you can choose to sit where, and with whom, you like. And because the best dining room is the great outdoors, we offer more alfresco dining areas than on any other ship of a similar size. Indoors or out, in every restaurant the food is the star.

A JOURNEY OF FLAVOUR At Viking, we are passionate about good food, and we believe that there is no better time to tantalise your taste buds than when you are travelling. Whether you want to enjoy the great cuisines of the world or familiar favourites, every meal aboard a Viking ocean ship is a meal to remember. Of course, fresh is best. Our chefs make the most of locally sourced produce. Lemons in Provence, tomatoes in Tuscany and oysters in Dubrovnik, seasonal local ingredients deliver an authentic taste of regional cuisines. WHAT’S COOKING? Viking’s world of discovery extends naturally into the kitchen. On board, enjoy a fun cooking class with one of our expert chefs. Sharpen your knife skills, brush up your pastry making or whip up the perfect soufflé. Learn it all in the right place at the right time. It’s the best recipe of all. FROM PLACE TO PLATE There is something very satisfying about eating food – and drinking wine – in the place where it is grown or made, and on every Viking journey you can choose to meet the people whose lives are intrinsically linked with their produce. In a stately mansion in Tuscany’s Lucca Valley, learn how to cook an authentic and delicious pasta dish. In Copenhagen, visit the Carlsberg factory to find out how this world-famous brew is made. And in Ston, the oyster capital of Croatia, take a local boat trip to see the oyster and mussel beds before feasting on the day’s catch.

DINE IN YOUR CHOICE OF RESTAUR ANT FOR FREE If you have an appetite for good food, you are in for a treat. Dine in a choice of 10 different venues – including more al fresco areas than on any other ship of a similar size. All serving complimentary wine and beer with lunch and dinner. Outstanding cuisine all included? We’ll drink to that.

MAMSEN’S Named after the mother of Viking's Chairman, Torstein Hagen, Mamsen’s is home to all things deliciously Norwegian, including open sandwiches of smoked salmon, and homemade waffles with jam – served on vintage china, just like Mamsen’s.

ALTERNATIVE DINING Some cruise lines call them speciality restaurants, we call them alternative. That is because you don’t pay extra to dine there, and so they are a very real alternative. For most staterooms, reservations can be pre-booked before you cruise, with priority given to higher grades.

THE WORLD CAFÉ Japanese or French? Italian or Asian? Take a culinary journey around the world – with some of the best views in the world, thanks to sliding panoramic glass doors that lead on to the Aquavit Terrace.

TABLE FOR TWO OR TABLE FOR 12? In all our restaurants you can sit where and with whom you wish. No formal seating, no formal dress code, and no inflexible times for sittings. It’s all about choice. Your choice. THE RESTAURANT Because the main restaurant should be as wonderful as all the other restaurants, ours features dailychanging menus with chef’s specials, along with daily-changing views, thanks to glass doors that open to offer spectacular, al fresco dining.

AQUAVIT TERRACE Because one of the best ingredients of any meal is a sunny day, the Aquavit Terrace offers the perfect backdrop for dining al fresco.

MAMSEN’S AQUAVIT TERRACE

THE CHEF’S TABLE Indulge in a multi-course tasting menu with perfect wine pairing inspired by the lands through which you are travelling. The Chef’s Table might very soon become your favourite table. THE POOL GRILL Handmade burger or pizza with your choice of delicious toppings? Cold beer? Crisp white wine? Lap it all up, it’s all included.

RECHARGE IN THE SPA AT NO EXTR A CHARGE

T H E S PA

“The ship’s spa is the most gorgeous we’ve seen at sea. Services, which include salon treatments from hair styling to pedicures, and a whole range of massage and facial options, are top notch. The Norwegian-influenced relaxation area comes complete with thalassotherapy pool, whirlpools, a Snow Grotto (big tip here: wear slippers!), Finnish sauna, heated tile loungers and a fireplace-like special effect; these areas are communally shared by all passengers. Locker rooms for men and women also have serene seating areas looking out at the sea, and coldwater pools. The best thing? You don’t have to buy a treatment to use the facilities. They’re complimentary – for all” Cruise Critic

CHILDREN/MINORS Due to the nature of our cruise itineraries, Viking Cruises does not maintain facilities or services for children aboard river cruise vessels. On all river cruises, minors must be over the age of 12; must be accompanied and share a stateroom with a parent, legal guardian or other responsible adult over the age of 21. We reserve the right to limit the number of minors under the age of 18 years on board. DISABLED GUESTS You must report any disability requiring special attention while on your Viking Cruises itinerary to Viking at the time the reservation is made. All vessels and motor coaches are equipped to European standards. Most transportation services, including the vessels and motor coaches, are not equipped with elevators or wheelchair ramps. Viking will make reasonable attempts to accommodate the special needs of disabled travellers, but is not responsible in the event it is unable to do so nor is it responsible for any denial of services by vessel operators, air carriers, hotels, restaurants or other independent suppliers. We regret that we cannot provide individual assistance to a holiday participant for walking, dining, getting on and off vessels, motor coaches and other vehicles, or other personal needs. A qualified and physically able companion must accompany travellers who need such assistance and must assume full responsibility for their wellbeing.
