Cedrus

Viking · Lyon to Avignon

Lyon & Provence

This is a different river choice: fewer countries, more time with French food, Roman history and the Rhône landscape. Choose it if you would rather linger than collect borders.

Your whole cruise journey, taken care of.

From packing advice and your airport ride to flights, hotels, port transfers and cruise check-in. We plan the details around your time on the water.

We help with documents, registration, dining and shore-experience booking windows, disembarkation and the journey home.

Your cabin on Viking Lofn

Viking Lofn is the base for a food-and-culture journey. The terrace and lounges give you somewhere to enjoy the river between calls. We compare a full veranda and French balcony, then check deck position, availability and the exact fare rather than assuming every category has outdoor seating.
