Viking has launched two new river cruises that will give guests the chance to see the world-renowned Oberammergau Passion Play.
Performed once a decade in the southern Bavarian town of Oberammergau, the Passion Play dates back to the 17th century. Desperate villagers are believed to have made a vow to God in 1633 that they would perform a play depicting the suffering of Christ every ten years if they were spared from the bubonic plague.
