About Viking Buri
Viking Buri 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 2014. The name honors Buri, the first god in Norse myth, who was licked free from salty ice by the primeval cow Audumbla. For 2026 and 2027 Viking schedules it mainly on Lyon & Provence cruises on the Rhone and Saone between Avignon and Lyon, with the Rhone leg of Lyon, Provence & the Rhineland in season. The square-bowed design fits three full passenger decks under a sun deck with an herb garden, a putting green and a walking track.
