Viking Helgrim is a modern tribute to the Norse seafaring saga, launched in 2018 as a ship that marries heritage with contemporary comfort. At 3,500 gross tons and 80 meters in length, she strikes a graceful balance between intimate guest spaces and expansive views, supported by a four-deck layout and 53 cabins that welcome up to 104 guests. A cruising speed of 15 knots ensures steady passages along fjords and coastlines, while a capable crew of 36 delivers attentive service and seamless navigation. The ship's best features include well-appointed public rooms with thoughtful sightlines, an airy observation lounge, and dining spaces that showcase regional flavors with a touch of Nordic flair. Onboard activities emphasize enrichment and social connection: guided shore excursions, curator-led talks on Viking history and Norse legends, storytelling evenings that bring sagas to life, hands-on cooking demonstrations, and interactive workshops that suit curious travelers of all ages. For wellness and leisure, guests can enjoy a fitness area, quiet reading rooms, and comfortable lounges that invite relaxation between scenic sails. Power on board accommodates both US 110V and EU 220V outlets, though adapters are not provided, so guests should plan accordingly. The Helgrim carries forward a storied symbol of diplomacy and exchange—the colorfully gilded shields and purple sails of old—inviting guests to experience a voyage that feels both timeless and newly contemporary while exploring the seas in comfort and safety.
