About Viking Gefjon
One of Viking's near-identical 135-meter Longships, Viking Gefjon carries 190 guests and has sailed since 2015. Gefjon, the namesake, is the goddess said to have plowed the Danish island of Zealand out of the Swedish mainland with four oxen. Its 2026 and 2027 departures are mostly the Grand European Tour, which links Budapest and Amsterdam by way of the Main-Danube Canal. Its schedule also includes the Rhine Getaway between Basel and Amsterdam and Christmas on the Rhine market cruises. 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.
