About Viking Sol

Viking Sol is an upcoming 106-guest ship for Portugal's Douro, a sister of the Viking Gyda and the other Douro Longships. Sol, its namesake, is the Norse sun goddess, forever chased across the sky by the wolf Skoll. Viking lists it as a 2027 ship for Portugal's River of Gold, with a first departure on October 19, 2027 (the trip starts with two nights in Lisbon). Its announced program includes Portugal's River of Gold, a round trip from Porto up the Douro valley with a day trip to Salamanca in Spain. The 80-meter ship has 53 outside staterooms, most with a veranda or French balcony, plus a sun-deck swimming pool and an outdoor Aquavit Terrace at the bow.
