It\u2019s March, and for most of us, that means spring is here. But for those in the river cruise industry, March is special for another reason: it\u2019s historically when lines put their newest vessels into service for the very first time.<\/p>\n
This year is no exception; in fact, more new river cruise ships are scheduled to enter service this year than at any other point in history. An astonishing 14 ships are entering service with Viking River Cruises <\/b>alone \u2013 and we\u2019ll be bringing you all the latest updates as we travel to France<\/b> to witness the third consecutive year of Longship christenings.<\/p>\n
