Viking River Cruises was recognized by readers of the leading travel publication Condé Nast Traveler in the “Top 10 Small Ship Cruise Lines” for the magazine’s annual Readers’ Choice Awards. Condé Nast Traveler magazine’s annual survey allows its readers to rate hotels and resorts, cities and islands, cruise lines and more to determine the best of the best in travel.

“We are honored to be recognized as one of the “Top 10 Small Ship Cruise Lines” by Condé Nast Traveler readers,” said Torstein Hagen, Founding Chairman, Viking River Cruises. “As the world’s leading river cruise line, we own and manage all aspects of our passenger’s experience, from our reservations department to our ships to our onboard Swiss hotel management, giving our passengers an excellent travel experience. Our listing in the top 10 Small Ships, along with the high numbers of passengers who return to us year after year for another cruise, confirms our leadership in the industry.”

The Readers’ Choice Awards results appear in the November issue of Condé Nast Traveler, and are also available online. In 2006, more than 283,657 subscribers were provided with the questionnaire to vote on cities, islands, hotels, resorts, safari camps, cruise lines, airlines, and car rental agencies that they had visited or traveled within recently. Addition information about the methodology is available on Condé Nast Traveler’s website.
