About Viking Vali

Viking Vali, a 190-guest Longship that joined the fleet in 2019, belongs to the large class of sister ships Viking introduced in 2012. Vali, its namesake, is the son of Odin born to avenge the death of Baldur. Viking's 2026-2027 calendar has it mostly on the Grand European Tour, which links Budapest and Amsterdam by way of the Main-Danube Canal. Its schedule also includes Christmas on the Rhine market cruises and Christmas on the Danube sailings. Like its sisters it has 95 outside staterooms, including two Explorer Suites with wraparound verandas, and a square bow that makes room for the indoor-outdoor Aquavit Terrace.
