Viking River Cruises Builds New Ship for 2009 River Cruise Season

River cruising provides up-close-and-personal access to great cities and quaint villages along the world's great rivers—and there is nothing better than enjoying European landscapes aboard a beautiful new cruise ship. In 2009, Viking River Cruises will enhance its appeal to cruise travelers with a new ship, Viking Legend, featuring cutting-edge technology and the region's largest suites.

The new ship will debut on the popular 15-day Viking River Cruises Grand European Tour itinerary, which takes passengers along the Rhine, Main and Danube Rivers between Amsterdam and Budapest; its official launch is expected to occur in May of 2009. I sailed this itinerary on the Viking Spirit and loved exploring central Europe on a Viking River Cruises' river ship.
