If you’ve been wanting to try a river cruise in Europe, you won’t find a better deal this summer than the 2-for-1 offers by Viking Cruises (VikingRiverCruises.com). The offer expires on June 15, so you need to book right away.

River cruises work the network of European waterways on smaller ships that allow passengers to see cities and sights not available to the mega-cruisers. Since these ships travel by river, the pace is more leisurely and it is not unusual for their to be daily port visits.

Smaller ships have their own unique ambience. While it’s true you may forego some big-ship attractions like casinos, multiple swimming pools, and revue-type extravaganza shows, you are more likely to get to know your fellow passengers and enjoy a higher level of personalized service.

Plus you can get some itineraries that just aren’t available anywhere else. Some Viking Cruises now being advertised include trips from Paris to Le Havre, from Basel to Antwerp, from Nuremberg to Vienna, and from Moscow to St. Petersburg.
