About Viking Gefjon
Gefjon is credited with the creation of the Danish island of Zealand. When the ruler of Sweden offers her all the land she and four oxen can plow in a day and a night, she transforms her four sons into beasts of burden. Together, they uproot a swathe of earth from the mainland and deposit it into the sea, creating Zealand. This act of might earns Gefjon respect among gods.

The Viking Difference
Destination focused and culturally enriching. Discover what makes us the world’s leading small ship cruise line.
Voted #1 for Rivers, Oceans & Expeditions
We are proud to be the first travel company voted #1 across all three categories simultaneously by the readers of Condé Nast Traveler two years in a row.
For the Thinking Person
Experiences created for curious travelers.
Before You Go
Before travel, we provide a variety of materials to help guests plan and anticipate their journey, from filmographies that inspire wanderlust to recommended reading that informs and enlightens.
On Board
Onboard activities are designed for enrichment and renewal. We offer lectures on history and art, cooking demonstrations of regional favorites, menus offering regional cuisine and more.
On Shore
On shore, guests might accompany the ship's chef to a local market; go behind the scenes at a famous theater company; tour a private chocolate or car factory; or view a museum's private collection.
Ships Designed for Exploration
Vessels that bring you closer to your destination. At Viking, we build innovative ships that are the right size for the experience—
with a signature Scandinavian design that never upstages the destination.
Intimate River Vessels
All the amenities of an elegant boutique hotel, including an unparalleled choice of all-outside staterooms, expansive views from floor-to-ceiling windows and al fresco dining.
We Have Designed Our River Ships
The most elegant vessels that use the available space in the most effective way—which explains why we are known as the small ship experts. From the space-saving square bow to the patented asymmetrical corridor design, our revolutionary and awardwinning Viking Longships have been designed to enhance your journey.
Serene Scandinavian Spaces
Elegant, innovative, light-filled spaces where comfort meets discovery.
Viking: Our Norwegian Heritage
Centuries ago, the birth of the Viking Age gave rise to the Norwegian tradition of exploration. Today, Viking proudly carries on this tradition, providing a glimpse into the spirit of Norway with elegant ships built for discovery. Join Karine Hagen, Sr. Vice President of Viking, as she reveals Norwegian influences thoughtfully integrated throughout our ocean ships.
The Lounge
Boasting floor-to-ceiling windows, The Lounge is peaceful, serene and casual. Settle in with a cocktail from The Bar and watch the scenery pass by as you compare notes about the day’s discoveries with new friends.
Aquavit Terrace®
Revolutionary in concept and design, the Aquavit Terrace offers the most al fresco dining on Europe’s rivers. Get to know new friends over breakfast and lunch as you watch Europe’s picturesque riverscapes unfold before you in this relaxing, inviting space.
The Restaurant
Enjoy a multicourse meal featuring regional cuisine and always available classics in the Restaurant, an upscale dining venue with panoramic windows with ever-changing views.
The Library
Tucked in a quiet corner, the onboard Library offers a curated selection of titles. Choose a book and settle in for a good read that is sure to inform and inspire you during your journey.
Sun Deck
On top of the ship, take in 360-degree views as you relax on the Sun Deck. Exercise en plein air on our walking track. And enjoy the fragrances of our onboard herb garden, harvested daily by the culinary staff and infused in our authentic regional dishes. For safety reasons, guest access to the Sun Deck is restricted during lock transits and when the ship is sailing under low bridges.
Unparalleled Staterooms and Suites
Viking offers a wide range of staterooms & suites.
Thinking Outside the Box
With our exclusive patented corridor configuration—a distinctive feature of our Viking Longships—we are able to offer a variety of stateroom choices, from the deluxe comfort of our spacious Veranda and French Balcony Staterooms to our Veranda and Explorer Suites.
Viking Suite Collection
While other cruise lines call one large room a “suite,” Viking Longships offer river cruising’s first-ever true suites, each with two full-size rooms. These spaces are among the largest suites on Europe’s rivers and provide commanding views, making our innovative Viking Longships the most desirable way to see Europe’s great waterways.
The Fine Art of Detail
After a lifetime spent living in hotels, our Chairman wanted to ensure every detail of our ships was elegantly functional. So we designed easy-to-read and -open premium bath products; intuitive remote controls; large showers with strong water pressure and clear controls; anti-fog mirrors; and heated floors.
Destination-Focused Dining
Regional cuisine, always available classics and the most al fresco dining on any waterway.

Destination Performances
Each Viking itinerary includes one or more Destination Performances representing the most iconic cultural performing art form of the region—whether it be Portuguese fado with its melancholy melodies and poignant lyrics; or Viennese opera.
Craft & Cooking Demonstrations
Local artisans demonstrate time-honored craft traditions of your destinations, such as glassblowing, lace making and wooden shoemaking. Our culinary demonstrations present recipes of regional treats and drinks—Austrian apple strudel, Rüdesheim Coffee and more.
Classical & Regional Musicians
From local ensembles to acclaimed choirs, we invite on board a wide range of talented musicians to perform well-known and lesser-known melodies. We hope you will find yourself transported by their performances and enjoy some of the benefits of classical music—lifting your spirit, soothing your soul and adding to your onboard enrichment.
Destination Insights
Join us for a special series of short films, screening on your stateroom television, intended to inform you about the iconic destinations and little-known gems you will be visiting. This series provides insights and information intended to deepen your understanding—and enjoyment—of the time ahead, and perhaps encourage you to engage with your destinations in a way you otherwise would not have.
Viking Curated Library
The onboard Library was curated by Heywood Hill, an independent London bookseller and Royal Warrant holder, who dedicated hundreds of hours to understanding the unique, inquisitive nature of our guests. From art to history to destination-focused reading, each book was hand-selected to enhance your experience, both on board and at your destination.
