Cruising news: As summer comes to an end, many travelers are already looking ahead to their next vacation, and are interested in extended getaway options. In fact, travelers are typically taking two to three week vacations to completely immerse themselves in an experience, destination or culture, according to a 2005 study by Randall Travel Marketing. Viking River Cruises, world's largest river cruise line, offers just such vacations, allowing customers to explore entire regions of Europe, Russia and China at a leisurely pace while cruising famous rivers of the world, including the Danube, Yangtze, Seine, and Rhine. Best of all, passengers can now save $700 per cabin on any 2007 sailing through early booking discounts.. Named again just this August to the "World's Best" list by Travel + Leisure magazine, Viking River Cruises provides the perfect opportunity for in-depth exploration of quaint villages and historic cities. Passengers interact with locals and gain insight into a region's key sites, cuisine, and history in small groups, with ships averaging only 150 passengers. 2007 European Offerings and New Escorted Extensions Viking River Cruises offers 14 different itineraries in 2007, ranging from seven to 14 nights along the Rhine, Main, Danube, Seine, Saone, Rhone, and Elbe Rivers, plus Russia's Waterways of the Czars and Ukraine's Dnieper River.
