Treasures of the Rhine
Antwerp to Basel

This 15-day cruise is a leisurely celebration of five countries along the storied Rhine River, with many highlights. Sail past Germany's castle-studded landscapes and famous Rhine wine region, stopping in quaint Rüdesheim and Cologne, known for its thriving art scene. To the south lie the Black Forest area, Switzerland's fascinating Basel and the Alsatian capital Strasbourg; to the north, Holland's Amsterdam and the windmills at Kinderdijk, and Belgium's medieval Flemish capitals of Ghent, Brugge and Antwerp. Whether you are familiar with this part of the world or not, our Treasures of the Rhine itinerary lets you see it from a wonderful new perspective.

More days means more to discover—with packages you can add before or after your Viking journey. Wherever your journey takes you, we offer exciting ways to see even more of the region.

Viking Sun

Overview
We take you on an unforgettable journey to discover the treasures of Europe. We own and operate our ships according to the highest standards of Swiss hotel management. Experience the heart of Europe on this state-of-the-art vessel.

Atrium/Reception Lobby
The atrium is a large, airy space with a grand staircase to the upper lobby and direct access to the restaurant. The middle deck lobby is where you enter the ship, and serves as your information center throughout your voyage. Your Program Director's desk is located here, so you can easily ask questions or discuss the day's activities. There is a public address system to announce events; there are restrooms and an onboard boutique.

Atrium/Seating Area
This is the upper part of the grand atrium. It features a large, comfortable seating area with panoramic windows, so you can relax, read or watch the scenery go by. There is a 24-hour tea and coffee station with a fruit basket, and some showcases displaying items available at the onboard boutique just downstairs. The middle deck lobby (reception lobby) is accessible via the grand staircase.

Sun Deck
Enjoy sunshine and fresh air while you take in 360-degree views of the scenery as you sail past castles, towns, villages, trees and vineyards. Stand at the railings or relax in a comfortable deck chair. Some of the seating has a canopy for those who prefer shade. There is an access way from the sun deck to the bridge, as well as to the library via staircase at the ship's stern.

Restaurant
The restaurant is where all meals are served during your cruise. Because it features panoramic windows, you will not miss any of the scenery while you are dining. It seats all guests at tables which vary in size, accommodating 6, 8 or 10 guests per table. The dining room is open seating, so you are free to sit where you like—a great way to make new friends. The atmosphere is casual but elegant, with high-quality table linens, china, cutlery and glassware.

Observation Lounge/Bar
Located at the fore of the upper deck, the observation lounge is a terrific place to meet friends before and after meals. It offers a large sitting area with chairs, small tables and a bar area with barstools. The lounge has a projector and screen installed in the ceiling, so slides can be shown, and there is a stereo system and dance floor.

Library
The library has comfortable seating and excellent reading light. Our ships' libraries carry approximately 80 books, in various languages but mostly English, and several games such as chess, backgammon and playing cards. The library does have a bar facility and can be used for private functions by prior arrangement.
