DAY OF THE LONGSHIPS
Viking River Cruises (0800 319 6660/www.vikingrivercruises.co.uk) is reinventing the river cruise with four new longships that will debut in 2012. The ships, more than 80ft longer than many competitors, will be created by the team behind the luxury Seabourn ocean cruise ships.
They combine traditional Scandinavian style with top technology including quiet hybrid engines, solar panels, free Wi-fi and organic herb garden.
Each ship is to cost more than £18million and will boast the biggest suites on Europe's rivers (the Explorer suites will have wraparound balconies).
There will be bigger cabins with more balconies.
The Aquavit Terrace on the prow has floor-to-ceiling glass doors which open its vast lounge to the balmy air and there will be an outdoor dining area. The longships will sail four of Viking's most popular European routes from next spring including two regular cruises on the Danube calling at Hungary's fascinating capital Budapest, split between Buda's historic castle area and the cosmopolitan streets of Pest.
The historic treasure of Melk with its Benedictine abbey and spectacular baroque church, and the charming Italianate old town of Passau in Germany are also fascinating stops en route.
An eight-day Romantic Danube cruise on Viking Odin from £2,195pp (two sharing), full board. Includes excursions, return flights from various UK airports and transfers. Departs Budapest, May 5, 2012.
