About Viking Gullveig

Viking Gullveig, a 190-guest Longship that joined the fleet in 2014, belongs to the large class of sister ships Viking introduced in 2012. Gullveig, the namesake, is a seer whose burning by the Aesir set off their legendary war with the Vanir. Viking's 2026-2027 calendar has it mostly on Romantic Danube cruises between Budapest and Regensburg. Its schedule also includes Christmas on the Danube sailings and the Rhine, Main & Danube Odyssey between Budapest and Basel. 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.
