About Viking Lofn
Viking Lofn is a 190-guest Viking Longship, one of the 135-meter sister ships that make up most of Viking's European river fleet, and it entered service in 2015. Lofn, the namesake, is a goddess of comfort whom Odin allowed to arrange even forbidden marriages. For 2026 and 2027 Viking schedules it mainly on Lyon & Provence cruises on the Rhone and Saone between Avignon and Lyon, with the Rhone leg of France's Finest in season. The square-bowed design fits three full passenger decks under a sun deck with an herb garden, a putting green and a walking track.
