Viking Cruises Voted Best River Cruise Line
Viking Cruises once again took first place as Best River Cruise Line, by Condé Nast Traveler and their magazine’s 2018 Readers’ Choice Awards. For the second consecutive year the magazine’s readers voted Viking’s river cruise line into the number one spot. Viking’s ocean cruise segment, Viking Ocean, scored as one of the Best Ocean Cruise Lines.
Viking River Cruises has garnered a place at the top of the list every year since the river cruise category was introduced. With the #1 winning score, Condé Nast Traveler readers voted Viking higher than any other cruise line for the second year in a row. Also, after only three years of operating ocean cruises, Viking was again named one of the Best Ocean Cruise Lines.
