About Viking Heimdal
Viking Heimdal, a 190-guest Longship that joined the fleet in 2014, belongs to the large class of sister ships Viking introduced in 2012. Heimdal, the namesake, is the ever-watchful guardian of the gods, whose horn Gjallarhorn can be heard across every realm. Viking's 2026-2027 calendar has it mostly on Lyon & Provence cruises on the Rhone and Saone between Avignon and Lyon. Its schedule also includes the Rhone leg of France's Finest and the Rhone leg of Lyon, Provence & the Rhineland. 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.
