Viking River Cruise

Back in 2014, Viking River Cruises went on a ship launching binge when they christened 16 Longships in 24 hours. The event actually set a Guinness World Record for “The Most Ships Inaugurated in One Day by One Company.”

The new Longships are spectacular. They are, in a word, luxurious. In two words – unbelievably luxurious. They have an indoor/outdoor terrace for al fresco meals, two-room suites with a veranda and a French balcony, and eco-friendly hybrid engines for a smoother ride.

But there’s far more to a Viking River Longship than opulent rooms, fancy dining and eco-friendly mechanics. I’ve used the Aegir as an example before but here it is again. This is what you get with a Viking River Cruise.

  • 95 staterooms. All outside.
  • Opt for a suite and you get two rooms with a veranda off the living room and a French balcony in the bedroom.
  • Staterooms range from 135 sq ft to 445 sq ft.
  • Sun deck with 360-degree views.
  • Aquavit Terrace, where you can dine al fresco, read a book or get hammered on local alcohol.
  • A putting green and walking track.
  • Restaurant with floor-to-ceiling windows so you don’t miss a bit of the stunning scenery.
  • A library.
  • Free shipwide wireless Internet service.
  • Laundry service.
  • A 40″ flat-panel Sony TV in case you get tired of looking at the views.
  • Onboard activities and shore excursions in every port.

I could show you pictures of life on board a Viking River Cruise Longship, which is all fine and good. Or I can show you a video about being on board a Viking River Cruise Longship. And since they say a picture is worth a thousand words, then seeing this video must be worth roughly 4,140,000 words.

Looks pretty awesome, doesn’t it? The Longships are the bomb. (I was going to go with another word that sort of rhymed with “ship” but decided against it, even though I liked it more than “bomb.”
