All excursions are hosted by local English-speaking guides who are armed with deep knowledge and ready to share their information with you! All guests get complimentary use of portable headsets on all excursions, complements of Viking River Cruises. Enrichment continues onboard, where you can spend your evenings listening to a guest lecturer speak on a variety of subjects, or catch a port talk and learn about tomorrow’s destination.

Dining Options

Explore every port with your taste buds at dinner time. The chefs onboard Viking Embla passionately create dishes reflective of fresh European delights. Ingredients are sourced locally and may even come from the sundeck, where a live herb garden grows! Another popular dining spot is the Aquavit Terrace, which holds a casual lunch and dinner buffet every night. Dine in the fresh river air as you sail past incredible castles, structures, and other stunning sights.
