Viking has taken delivery of its newest river ships, the Viking Annar and the Viking Fjolvar.
The 190-guest Viking Annar will sail Viking’s itineraries on the Rhine, Main, and Danube rivers, while the the 168-guest Viking Fjolvar will sail itineraries on the Seine River.
“We are proud to welcome the Viking Annar and the Viking Fjolvar to our growing fleet of award-winning river ships,” said Leah Talactac, president and CEO of Viking. “Exploring by river offers an unmatched way to discover a destination’s history, culture and local life, and these new vessels allow even more curious travelers to experience Europe in Viking comfort.”
Based on Viking’s committed orderbook, the company expects to take delivery of 22 additional river ships by 2028, nine additional ocean ships by 2031, and two additional expedition ships by 2031. With these orders, Viking will have 114 river ships in 2028 and 26 ocean and expedition ships in 2031.
