Viking® announced it has taken delivery of the Viking Dagur, the company’s newest Viking Longship®. The Viking Dagur was built at Meyer’s Neptun Werft shipyard in Rostock-Warnemünde, Germany. The 190-guest Viking Dagur joins the company’s growing fleet of state-of-the-art sister ships and will sail Viking’s popular itineraries on the Rhine, Main and Danube rivers.

We look forward to welcoming guests on board this elegant new ship as she begins sailing our itineraries in the heart of Europe.”
The Viking Dagur
Hosting 190 guests in 95 staterooms, the Viking Dagur features elegant Scandinavian design and the industry-leading innovations for which Viking is known, including the patented square bow that enables three full decks, the indoor/outdoor Aquavit Terrace and the proprietary asymmetric corridor layout that allows for true two-room suites. The Viking Dagur will sail popular itineraries that include Rhine Getaway, Paris to the Swiss Alps, Christmas on the Rhine and Christmas on the Rhine & Moselle.
Viking’s Growing Fleet
Viking remains focused on its well-defined, long-term growth plans and committed to its strategy, continuing to be a global leader in experiential travel.
