Viking Annar is a 135-meter, four-deck expedition ship designed to deliver intimate luxury and captivating Nordic storytelling to 190 guests in 95 cabins, with a dedicated crew of 53 ensuring attentive, personalized service. The ship’s design embodies the mythic figure of Annar, Earth Father and Night’s Consort, blending earth-toned interiors, natural materials, and celestial touches that celebrate both land and night. Guests enjoy a graceful balance of exploration and refinement: a panoramic observation lounge and a forward-facing deck for fjord and northern-sea sailings; a Nordic spa and wellness area; a refined culinary program highlighting regional ingredients and chef-led tasting experiences; and spaces for lectures, crafts, and music nights that echo Viking heritage. Onboard activities are crafted to be immersive and hands-on: history and archaeology talks, cooking demonstrations, sail-away ceremonies, and interactive workshops that invite guests to try traditional crafts, dyeing, or knot-tying; and a carefully curated program of shore excursions that bring wilderness, sea and culture to life. With four decks and 95 cabins, the ship fosters a warm, community-like atmosphere where guests can mingle in lounges and on the sunlit stern deck. Note: there are no electrical plug types onboard and adapters are not provided, so Annar emphasizes unplugged evenings of storytelling, stargazing sessions on the top deck, acoustic performances, and printed guides for guests who prefer analog explorations. The result is a modern voyage that respects tradition while delivering contemporary comfort, where every voyage feels like stepping into a living Norse saga.
