GENERAL PHYSICAL FITNESS
Our tours and cruises are not physically demanding; but however, because of the nature of many of the sites you will be visiting, some tours may not be appropriate for guests with specific medical conditions and physical restrictions. Walking excursions are often on uneven ground or cobblestones and may include stairs and steep inclines. If you have concerns or questions, please discuss the nature of your itinerary with your Viking River Cruises Travel Consultant.
