Viking, the world’s most popular river cruise line, expanded its fleet once again when the newest Longship was added to their fleet this week.
Viking took delivery of Viking Dagur, a river ship that was built at Meyer’s Neptun Werft shipyard in Rostock-Warnemünde, Germany.
The 190-guest Viking Dagur is the latest Viking Longship that will offer cruises on the Rhine, Main and Danube rivers. This state-of-the-art vessel is a sister ship to the cruise line’s award-winning Longships that are so popular in Europe.
The ship has 95 staterooms, features elegant Scandinavian design and the industry-leading innovations for which Viking is known.
Itineraries the ship will sail include Rhine Getaway, Paris to the Swiss Alps, Christmas on the Rhine and Christmas on the Rhine & Moselle.
Leah Talactac, President and CEO of Viking, gave the following statement:
“We are proud to welcome the Viking Dagur to our award-winning river fleet. The arrival of our newest river ship marks another important milestone as we continue to expand opportunities for curious travelers to explore the world in Viking comfort. We look forward to welcoming guests on board this elegant new ship as she begins sailing our itineraries in the heart of Europe.”
Viking expect to take delivery of another 21 river cruise ships by 2028. The cruise line is also adding nine new ocean ships and tow new expedition ships by 2031. This will give Viking 114 river ships and 26 ocean and expedition ships in their fleet.
