About Viking Nerthus

Viking Nerthus is one of six 168-guest Longships Viking built for the Seine, and it entered service in 2025. Nerthus, the namesake, is an ancient Germanic earth and fertility goddess said to travel in a cart drawn by cows. For 2026 and 2027 Viking schedules it mainly on Paris & the Heart of Normandy, a round trip from Paris down the Seine toward the Normandy beaches. Its schedule also includes Christmastime in Paris & Normandy and the Seine leg of France's Finest. 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. Viking took delivery of it at Neptun Werft in March 2025 and named it in Basel that October.
