Shore Excursions
Collaboration
As the Thinking Person’s Cruise Line, Viking River shore excursions are dedicated to ensuring our guests experience as many opportunities as possible to explore and learn about the destinations they visit.
A Viking River shore excursion takes you closer to the unique art, heritage, traditions, architecture and people that define each destination. Whether it’s castles and cathedrals, museums and outdoor markets or a UNESCO World Heritage site, every day with Viking is an opportunity for you to discover more about the world, and yourself.
Included excursion in every port
Enjoy a complimentary shore excursion in every port with an expert local guide. You can discover more without spending more. Moreover, their local guides will take you to iconic landmarks, and share stories passed down through generations. Additionally, they introduce you to sights you won’t find in a guidebook.
Optional excursions for every interest
In addition, Viking River’s range of expertly curated optional excursions will expand your mind and delight your senses.
Step backstage at the elegant Spanish Riding School, home to the world-famous Lipizzaner stallions in Vienna and see the outdoor courtyard, tack room and historic stables. Explore the Egyptian Valley of the Kings and Queens, with privileged access to the tomb of Queen Nefertari.
Visit a traditional fish cannery in Porto, where you’ll tour the last remaining factory that cans sardines using traditional methods. Or learn the art of truffle hunting from a local farmer and his hound and take a stroll around Saint-Émilion.
