Aboard a Viking Longship

Sail in comfort and style aboard one of Viking’s award-winning Longships—engineered specifically for river cruising and thoughtfully designed to bring you closer to the heart of Europe. With its state-of-the-art design, Scandinavian elegance, and spacious public areas, your ship is more than just a vessel—it’s your floating boutique hotel.

Each Longship features a serene, understated aesthetic that reflects Viking’s commitment to comfort, functionality, and timeless design. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the lounge and restaurant offer panoramic views of the ever-changing scenery, while the open-air Aquavit Terrace provides a relaxed setting for al fresco dining or sunset cocktails along the riverbanks.

Accommodations include a variety of stateroom categories, all with river views—many with full-size verandas or French balconies. 

Dining on board is a culinary journey of its own, with menus inspired by regional cuisine and international favorites. Enjoy complimentary wine and beer with lunch and dinner, as well as daily cultural enrichment programs, port talks, and live music in the lounge
