Viking Fleet - Europe
Throughout our decades of sailing the world’s great rivers, Viking has repeatedly reinvented the European river cruise vessel. By continuously building upon our tradition of innovation we have set industry standards and delighted our guests. And with the introduction of the Viking Longships in 2012, we are ready to do it all over again. These six revolutionary vessels join our award-winning European fleet, including Europe’s first “green” river ship, Viking Legend, and the environmentally conscious Viking Prestige. And from the purpose-built Viking Fontane and Viking Schumann on the Elbe to our doubled capacity in France aboard Viking Europe, Viking Neptune, Viking Pride and Viking Spirit, you will always enjoy the right ship in the right place.
