The Seine River now has a new beauty cruising with its award-winning sister ships. Viking has taken delivery of the Viking Nerthus, the company’s newest Viking Longship.

 The 168-guestViking Nerthus joins the company’s growing fleet of state-of-the-art sister ships on the Seine River and will sail Viking’s popular 8-day itinerary, Paris & the Heart of Normandy and the new 8-day Christmastime in Paris & Normandy itinerary.

“We are proud to welcome the Viking Nerthus to our growing fleet of award-winning Viking Longships,” Torstein Hagen, chairman and CEO of Viking, said in a press release.

“France continues to be a destination of great interest for our guests, and with the arrival of our newest ship on the Seine River, we look forward to introducing even more curious travelers to the region’s rich history and cultural treasures in ‘The Viking Way,'” he said.

The Viking Nerthus

Hosting 168 guests in 84 staterooms, the new Viking Nerthus features Viking’s signature Scandinavian design for which Viking is known. An identical sister ship the Viking Kai, the Viking Radgrid, the Viking Skaga and the Viking Fjorgyn, the Viking Nerthus features several aspects familiar to Viking guests, such as a distinctive square bow, an Aquavit Terrance and a wide variety of stateroom choices.

The vessels feature a hybrid propulsion system with batteries and exhaust gas after treatment. They also are equipped for shore power to reduce reliance on fuel while in port. Onboard solar panels further contribute to the ships’ energy efficiency.

  The ship’s delivery milestone is the most recent development as Viking continues to grow capacity. Based on the committed order book, the company expects to take delivery of 25 additional river ships by 2028 and nine additional ocean ships by 2030.

With these orders, Viking will have 109 river ships in 2028 and 21 ocean and expedition ships in 2030.
