Viking River Cruises

Ship Overview

Since its launch in 2020, Viking Skaga offers an intimate, Nordically inspired voyage for 168 guests aboard a 135‑meter vessel with 4 decks, 84 cabins, and a dedicated crew of 46. The ship blends Scandinavian design with practical comfort: wide panoramic windows, a light-filled atrium, and well-appointed public spaces that foster connection while preserving personal space. Guests enjoy EU 2-pin 220V outlets with adapters provided, making it easy to stay powered on every step of the journey. Onboard activities span immersive cultural experiences and hands-on culinary moments: guided shore excursions in each port, Nordic history talks, cooking demonstrations, wine tastings, as well as fitness and spa facilities for relaxation after days ashore. Dining showcases celebrate local ingredients with elegant, understated cuisine, while the observation lounge and library invite quiet moments with a view. In short, Viking Skaga pairs small-ship agility with big-ship comforts to create a memorable exploration of Nordic waters.
