About Viking Eir
Viking Eir is a four-deck Viking Longship for 190 guests that joined the fleet in 2015. Eir, the namesake, is the Norse goddess of healing, whom some accounts also count among the Valkyries. Through 2027 it sails chiefly on the Rhine Getaway between Basel and Amsterdam. Its schedule also includes Christmas on the Rhine market cruises and river-and-ocean combinations that continue to the Norwegian fjords. Public rooms follow the Longship pattern: a lounge with floor-to-ceiling glass doors, a panoramic restaurant, the indoor-outdoor Aquavit Terrace at the bow and a sun deck with solar panels.
