Sailing Europe’s storied rivers, the award-winning Viking Longships offer an elegant Scandinavian design and “green” features, such as solar panels, an onboard organic herb garden and energy-efficient hybrid engines that offer a remarkably smooth ride. In 2015, Viking introduced its first ocean ship boasting private verandas in every stateroom, a choice of restaurants offering a variety of fine dining options, the most al fresco dining at sea. Additionally, Viking’s ocean fleet offers an Infinity Pool, a Nordic-Inspired spa, an Explorer’s Lounge with panoramic views and thoughtfully curated book collections throughout each ship, and more – all designed to invoke a sense of understated elegance.
