Viking River Cruises

Ship Overview

Viking Hervor, launched in 2020, is a compact yet generous ship designed for intimate voyages with 190 guests and a dedicated crew of 50. At 135 meters long and 5000 gross tonnage, she trims the line with a sleek profile across four decks and 95 thoughtfully appointed cabins. Her design emphasizes comfortable, connected spaces where passengers can savor both culture and scenery: an inviting lounge for maritime storytelling and mythic nights, a panoramic observation area for sunset moments, and a sun-drenched deck to take in shoreline vistas. Onboard activities are crafted to complement the voyage's Norse-inspired flavor—engaging lectures and storytelling sessions on Odin and Valkyrie lore, culinary demonstrations that showcase regional flavors, and hands-on workshops that invite guests to try shipboard crafts and games while the crew shares nautical know-how. Evening entertainment blends tradition with modern flair, while quiet corners and intimate dining options invite reflection after a day ashore. Practical details matter too: the ship uses EU 2-pin 220V electrical outlets with adapters provided, ensuring guest devices stay charged throughout the journey. With a balance of elegant comfort and cultural immersion, Viking Hervor promises a refined, approachable sailing experience where every moment on deck or in the cabin feels crafted for discovery.
