Viking will welcome a new Viking Longship to its fleet in 2025.
The new ship is purpose-built for the Seine River and will sail the cruise line’s popular eight-day and the Heart of Normandy itinerary.
The new ship will join four Viking Longships that were officially named in 2022, the Viking Fjorgyn, the Viking Kari, the Viking Radgrid and the Viking Skaga.
All five ships were designed specifically to navigate the Seine River and bring guests to the heart of Paris, just a short walk from the Eiffel Tower.
Torstein Hagen, Chairman of Viking, said: “France continues to be among the most popular destinations for our guests, and we are pleased to expand our fleet on the Seine River to meet that demand.
“With our exclusive docking location at Port de Grenelle, even more guests will soon be able to explore the ‘City of Light’ in the Viking way.”
The new Viking longship can accommodate up to 168 guests in 84 staterooms. It comes with an Aquavit Terrace, a wide variety of stateroom choices, and Viking’s signature Scandinavian design aesthetic.
The vessels feature a hybrid propulsion system with batteries and are equipped for shore power to reduce reliance on fuel while in port.
Onboard solar panels further contribute to the ships’ energy efficiency.
