With demand continuing to grow for Europe river cruises, Viking said it will add 10 new Longships to its fleet in 2025 and 2026.<\/p>\n
Eight of the ships will sail the Rhine, Main and Danube rivers, and two will sail the Seine.<\/p>\n
Five ships will be delivered in 2025, five in 2026. The additional 10 ships will bring the company’s river fleet to 90.<\/p>\n
Each Longship can accommodate up to 190 guests and features Viking’s signature Scandinavian design and its indoor\/outdoor Aquavit Terrace.<\/p>\n
Viking said the new ships will have a hybrid propulsion system and will be equipped for shore power to reduce reliance on fuel while in port. Solar panels on the ships will contribute to energy efficiency.<\/p>\n
