VIKING
Plenty of choice with the largest line
With more ships and itineraries than anyone else, Viking is adding another new ship on the Nile, following the launch of Viking Osiris last year. Expert Egyptologists accompany Viking Aton’s 11-night Pharaohs & Pyramids itinerary, which includes a stay in Cairo. Elsewhere, there’s a 16-night Capitals of Eastern Europe cruise taking in Vienna, Budapest, Bratislava, Bucharest and Belgrade.
AMADEUS RIVER CRUISES
Modern, elegant fleet
Austrian-owned Amadeus, available through UK operator Fred Holidays, reflects its heritage with a Viennese cafe on its stylish European ships. In spring, the 148-passenger Amadeus Riva will join a fleet that also features walk-in wardrobes in many cabins and a hair salon – both rarities on riverboats.
