Viking offers their guests the opportunity to learn about the places they are visiting on a few different levels. This extends to their menus, created using produce and fine wines from several regions.

• There’s an expansive wine list that includes a very good selection of locally produced wines from places such as Austria, Germany and Hungary, as well as global wines from destinations like France, Italy, Spain and Portugal.
• Beer, wine and soft drinks are included with lunch and dinner in your cruise fare, and there’s a highly qualified Maître D’ on board who will share the stories behind your wine selection.
• One of the highlights of this cruise is indeed the cheese and wine tasting held with the Maître D’ explaining the origins and intricacies of the wines that are stocked on board.
• If you taste a beautiful drop onshore at one of the many wineries you will run across as you cruise throughout this part of Europe, you can bring your wine back on board and enjoy it anywhere on the ship, with no corkage fee.
