About Viking Aegir
Viking Aegir is a 190-guest Viking Longship, one of the 135-meter sister ships that make up most of Viking's European river fleet, and it entered service in 2012. Its name comes from Aegir, the giant who embodies the sea in Norse myth, a power the Viking seafarers both honored and feared. For 2026 and 2027 Viking schedules it mainly on Romantic Danube cruises between Budapest and Regensburg. Its schedule also includes Danube Waltz cruises between Budapest and Passau and Danube Christmas Delights market sailings. The square-bowed design fits three full passenger decks under a sun deck with an herb garden, a putting green and a walking track.
