Ship: Viking Legend
Maiden Voyage: May 10
The Inside Scoop: If you haven't often associated cutting-edge cruise ship designs with riverboats, Viking Legend may turn your head. The 189-passenger ship will feature a pair of splashy suites (310 square feet) - the largest accommodations on any European river vessel. A new propulsion system is another innovation, offering a smoother, quieter and more fuel-efficient ride. Otherwise, more traditional features include a sundeck with 360-degree views, upgraded beds with European linens and a restaurant offering menus that highlight seasonal and regional specialties.
Where it Will Sail: Viking Legend will cruise from May to November, offering river cruises between Amsterdam and Budapest. On these 15-night "Grand European Tour" voyages, the riverboat will sail along the Rhine, Main and Danube Rivers through Germany, Austria, Slovakia, and Hungary.
