Viking River Cruises

Ship Overview

Viking Ullur, launched in 2019, embodies Nordic design and refined comfort on the sea. With a solid 5,000 gross tons, a length of 125 meters and a beam of 29 meters, the ship balances robust performance with an intimate scale, carrying up to 190 guests in 95 cabins across three decks and a dedicated crew of 50. Aimed at elegant exploration, Ullur accelerates to 15 knots to reach diverse itineraries while maintaining smooth, stable passages that make every sailing feel effortless. Onboard facilities and public spaces are arranged for easy navigation and social connection, while guest cabins offer US 110V and EU 220V electrical plugs (adapters are not provided), ensuring convenience for international travelers. The ship’s best features include efficient layouts, generous viewing opportunities, and a quiet, refined ambiance that suits curious travelers who relish both comfort and discovery. The onboard activities program is designed to complement each voyage with enrichment talks, cultural demonstrations, and hands-on demonstrations, plus social events and wellness sessions that appeal to a wide range of interests; guests can enjoy informative lectures, culinary demonstrations, and relaxed evenings as they sail toward historic ports and scenic coastlines. Ullur’s spirit draws from its mythic namesake—the Stepson of Thor, a hunter and wizard who once crossed seas on a spellbound bone—inviting guests to a voyage that blends skill, curiosity, and a touch of magic with every port call.

Daily Shore Excursions

Most passengers participate in the daily shore excursions included in the cruise fares, and a fair number also opt for the fee-added alternative trips provided by the line. Shore excursions are typically of the basic bus or walking tour variety, but paid-for excursions also include events like wine-tastings and off-ship dinner outings. Prices for these range between 30 and 60 Euros per person. QuietVox headsets with earphones (found in each cabin) are provided for every tour so that everyone can hear what local guides are saying.

Viking Ullur - The Lounge

The Lounge

The lounge has a baby grand piano, where a pianist plays classical and modern melodies during cocktail hour and sometimes at lunch. The music drifts to and through the Aquavit Terrace -a nice accompaniment on warm, sunny days.

The cruise director hosts a variety of informal evening entertainment in the lounge; from pub trivia nights to the cruise slideshow cum sales pitch, it's all done in a spirit of fun and inclusivity. The lounge is also equipped with large pull-down movie screens and surround-sound for movie nights, and regional performers occasionally come onboard to provide additional entertainment.
