About Viking Alruna
One of Viking's near-identical 135-meter Longships, Viking Alruna carries 190 guests and has sailed since 2016. Alruna, its namesake, is a Valkyrie of the sagas who spent seven winters with the hero Egil before flying off to battle for good. Its 2026 and 2027 departures are mostly the Rhine Getaway between Basel and Amsterdam, with Christmas on the Rhine market cruises in season. Its 95 staterooms run from 150-square-foot standard rooms with half-height windows to two-room Veranda and Explorer Suites, and the ship has hybrid engines.
