About Viking Freya
Viking Freya, a 190-guest Longship that joined the fleet in 2012, belongs to the large class of sister ships Viking introduced in 2012. Freya, its namesake, is the Norse goddess of love and beauty and a daughter of Njord. Viking's 2026-2027 calendar has it mostly on Paris to the Swiss Alps, a Moselle and Rhine cruise from Trier to Basel framed by stays in Paris and Zurich, with Christmas on the Rhine & Moselle sailings in season. Like its sisters it has 95 outside staterooms, including two Explorer Suites with wraparound verandas, and a square bow that makes room for the indoor-outdoor Aquavit Terrace.
