From Vienna (and its Sachertorte) to Vietnam, Viking Pairs Sweetly with Great Railway Travel  

HOME  |  DESTINATIONS  |  BROCHURES  |  WHY VIKING
The year was 1832, and the Austrian minister of foreign affairs, Prince Metternich, ordered his court's kitchen to create a special dessert for his high-ranking guests. But the head chef of his household was ill that day, so the task fell to his 16-year-old apprentice, Franz Sacher. Fortunately, the delicious chocolate cake he developed on the spot was a rousing success! Herr Sacher went on to become a famous confectioner. In 1876 his son Eduard opened the Hotel Sacher in Vienna, where the treat has been served to honored guests ever since.
