About Viking Herja
Viking Herja is a 190-guest Viking Longship operating on European rivers, particularly the Rhine and Moselle. Built in 2017, the 135-metre vessel emphasizes scenic cruising, understated Scandinavian design and relaxed onboard spaces rather than large-ship entertainment.

Passengers have access to panoramic public areas, an indoor-outdoor Aquavit Terrace, a restaurant, lounge and bar, library, onboard shop, and a sun deck with walking and viewing areas.
