VIKING SEINE SHIPS SHIP OF THE MONTH – JULY 2024 WEEK 1 OF 4

Boasting the same popular design elements as their Viking Longships, Viking Kari, Viking Radgrid, Viking Skaga and Viking Fjorgyn feature state-of-the-art engineering, deluxe staterooms and streamlined Scandinavian interiors. Plus, these ships feature customised hulls and engines specifically built to navigate the historic Seine River. And with their exclusive docking location at Port de Grenelle, just a short walk from the Eiffel Tower, guests can explore the ‘City of Light’ in the Viking way. As France continues to be among the most popular destinations for their guests, and to meet demand, Viking will expand their fleet on the Seine River by adding a fifth ship for 2025. Hosting 168 guests in 84 staterooms, the Viking Longships on the Seine River feature an Aquavit Terrace and a wide variety of stateroom choices, as well as Viking’s signature Scandinavian design aesthetic. The vessels feature a hybrid propulsion system with batteries and are also equipped for shore power to reduce reliance on fuel while in port. Onboard solar panels further contribute to the ships’ energy efficiency. Sailing roundtrip from Paris, guests on Viking’s Paris & the Heart of Normandy itinerary explore Giverny and visit the beautiful gardens and charming farmhouse where Claude Monet lived and worked; trace the footsteps of Joan of Arc in Rouen; walk hallowed ground at Normandy’s Military Cemetery and World War II beaches; and savour Normandy cuisine. This eight-day voyage along the Seine River celebrates history, art, food and customs in the country’s most dazzling urban and pastoral settings.

Atrium and Guest Services

Viking’s soaring lobby, awash with light, where our Guest Services staff can help guests customise their explorations ashore.

The Lounge & Bar

With floor-to-ceiling glass windows and large, comfortable chairs, the Lounge is the heart of the ship—a gathering place for guests to view the scenery, have a drink, take in lectures and lore, and enjoy local music.

Shop

If guests are looking for a gift or memento, the onboard shop near Guest Services has everything they need to make their voyage comfortable and convenient, plus signature Viking keepsakes including books, clothing and jewellery.
