About Viking Kari

Viking Kari is one of six 168-guest Longships Viking built for the Seine, and it entered service in 2020. Kari, its namesake, is the Norse god of the north wind. Viking's 2026-2027 calendar has it mostly on Paris & the Heart of Normandy, a round trip from Paris down the Seine toward the Normandy beaches. Its schedule also includes the Seine leg of France's Finest and Christmastime in Paris & Normandy. It is a shorter Longship variant, 125 meters long with 84 staterooms, and keeps the Aquavit Terrace and a sun deck with a walking track and solar panels.
