Viking has unveiled its new Summer of France campaign, coinciding with the upcoming Paris Games. The initiative aims to inspire travelers to plan river or ocean voyages in France for 2025.

The campaign highlights Viking's extensive offerings in France, including river cruises on the Seine, Rhone and in the Bordeaux region, as well as ocean voyages that include French ports of call.

Key features of Viking's French itineraries include an exclusive docking location for Viking Longships on the Seine River in central Paris; Privileged Access experiences in Bordeaux and the French Riviera; river voyages such as Paris & the Heart of Normandy, Chateaux, Rivers & Wine and Lyon & Provence; ocean voyages featuring French ports, including the new Malta, Morocco & the Mediterranean itinerary; and pre and post-cruise land extensions in locations like Aix-en-Provence, Burgundy and the Loire Valley.

The Summer of France campaign includes a dedicated webpage offering enrichment videos, articles, French recipes and a curated list of France-focused itineraries. North American residents can enter a sweepstakes to win a 15-day France's Finest voyage for two in 2025.
