About Viking Hild

Viking Hild, a 190-guest Longship that joined the fleet in 2017, belongs to the large class of sister ships Viking introduced in 2012. Hild, the namesake, is a Valkyrie who kept reviving the fallen so that her father's and husband's armies could fight on forever. 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. Its schedule also includes Christmas on the Rhine & Moselle sailings and the Rhine Getaway between Basel and Amsterdam. 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.
