Centuries ago, the birth of the Viking Age gave rise to the Norwegian tradition of exploration. Today, Viking River Cruises proudly carries on this tradition, providing a glimpse into the spirit of Norway with elegant ships built for discovery and Norwegian influences thoughtfully integrated throughout the river cruiser’s Longships.

The award-winning, light-filled Viking Longships are designed to connect travelers to their destinations via floor-to-ceiling windows and ample outdoor space. The top of the river boats allows guests to relax on the Sun Deck while taking in 360-degree views. Walk around an outdoor track, and enjoy the fragrances of the onboard herb garden, harvested by Viking’s culinary staff.

Not only do Viking’s Longships offer extensive views, but they also have all the amenities of a fine hotel. The boats feature unprecedented levels of comfort, including spacious staterooms with full-size verandas, the largest suites on Europe’s rivers, and the inspired al-fresco dining. Additionally, both the Lounge and Library spaces are peaceful locales to either take in views through huge windows or relax and contemplate the unforgettable sights and scenes.
