About Viking Rota
Viking Rota is an upcoming 190-guest Viking Longship, a sister of the 135-meter ships that dominate Viking's European fleet. Rota, the namesake, is a rebellious Valkyrie associated with chaos. Viking took delivery of it on October 7, 2026, and its first listed departure is a Rhine Getaway on October 18, 2026. Its 2026 and 2027 departures are mostly the Grand European Tour, which links Budapest and Amsterdam by way of the Main-Danube Canal. Its schedule also includes the Rhine Getaway between Basel and Amsterdam and springtime Tulips & Windmills round trips from Amsterdam. Its 95 staterooms run from 150-square-foot standard rooms with half-height windows to two-room Veranda and Explorer Suites, and the ship has hybrid engines.
