About Viking Eir

Viking Eir is a 190-guest Viking Longship built by NEPTUN WERFT in 2015 for European river cruising. Its 95 outside staterooms include standard, French-balcony, veranda and suite categories. The ship is designed around panoramic river views, with a glass-enclosed lounge and restaurant, an Aquavit Terrace at the bow, and a sun deck with walking track, shaded seating, herb garden and putting green. It typically serves Rhine, Main and Danube-region itineraries and offers an intimate, destination-focused alternative to large ocean cruise ships.
