Special 2 for 1 offers from Viking River Cruises

The European river cruise companies seem to be in a bit of a price war at the moment. In the March Smarter Cruising Newsletter, I noted that Uniworld Grand River Cruises, Imperial River Cruises, and General Tours World Traveler were all offering current sales on European (including Russia) river cruises.

Now Viking River Cruises has just announced a two-for-one offer on some of its Rhine, Danube, and Russia river cruises coming up later this spring. On its 12-night Rhine Trips through five countries, you could save up to $4,755 per cabin on the April 13 and 25 sailings and on its May 7, 19, and 31 departures. Prices also include a dozen shore tours.

On its seven-night Danube cruises through three countries, you could save up to $3,015 per cabin on its May 13 and 20 sailings; seven shore tours are included.

And on Viking's 10- or 11-night Russian cruises, which travel from Moscow to St. Petersburg, you could save up to $3,267 per cabin on its May 6, 9, 13, 23, 27, and 30 departures. Eleven shore tours are included.

The offer is for new bookings only and expires April 6, but book ASAP since some of these sailings may sell out soon. Rates are based on double occpuancy, and you have to pay in full at time of booking. Call a travel agent or Viking at 877-66-VIKING.
