0:00viking river cruise map animation The scene features a split-screen composition with the top section occupying approximately 35-40% of the screen height against a solid, dark navy blue background. This upper part prominently displays the white 'VIKING' logo with its distinct wave graphic, followed by the text "15-Day All-Inclusive River Voyage," "Sail Europe's Iconic Rivers," and "UP TO 25% OFF | UP TO FREE AIRFARE." The bottom section, comprising 60-65% of the screen, presents a stylized, light tan-colored political map of Western and Central Europe. This map includes countries like The Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, and Hungary, marked with their respective national flags and outlined borders. Major rivers such as the Rhine, Main, and Danube, along with the Main-Danube Canal, are depicted in light blue. An animated bright red line progressively traces a detailed cruise itinerary across these rivers, starting in the Netherlands and extending eastward. As the red line advances, city names appear along its path, including Amsterdam, Kinderdijk, Cologne, Koblenz, Miltenberg, Wertheim, Würzburg, Rothenburg, Bamberg, Nuremberg, Regensburg, Passau, Melk, Krems, Vienna, and Budapest. Small red circular markers indicate 'Overnight in Port' stops, as explained by a legend in the bottom-left corner which also defines the red line as 'Cruise.' A compass rose is also visible in the lower left. The overall lighting is flat and even, typical of a digital graphic, creating a clear and informative visual presentation. The map slowly and subtly pans and zooms out slightly to accommodate the expanding route.
