About Viking Egdir

Viking Egdir belongs to Viking River Cruises's Longship series and entered service in 2019. Built to navigate the lock systems and bridge clearances of European waterways, she measures roughly 135 metres in length and accommodates up to 190 guests in 95 staterooms across 3 passenger decks.

Viking River Cruises pioneered the modern European Longship class in 2012 and remains the largest single operator on the Rhine, Main, Danube and Seine. Each Longship carries about 190 guests across three passenger decks, with floor-to-ceiling glass doors in most staterooms, a bow Explorer Suite and a sun deck framed by an organic herb garden. Viking Egdir reflects that brand DNA — from the design of her public spaces to the inclusions in her base fare.

The ship's typical home waters are the Main & Moselle, where she runs 2 distinct itineraries during the operating season. Repositioning sailings, themed wine cruises and Christmas-market voyages may be added in autumn and early winter.

Background reading: our long-form explainer of the Viking River Cruises fleet philosophy covers the design choices that distinguish Longship ships from the rest of the European fleet.
