About Viking Rolf
Viking Rolf 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 2016. Rolf, its namesake, recalls Rolf the Ganger (Rollo), the Viking chief who sailed up the Seine and founded Normandy. For 2026 and 2027 Viking schedules it mainly on the Rhine Getaway between Basel and Amsterdam, with Christmas on the Rhine market cruises 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.
