About Viking Honir

Viking Honir is a 2025-built Viking Longship designed for European river cruising on the Rhine, Main and Danube. The 135-meter ship accommodates up to 190 guests in 95 outside staterooms and combines Scandinavian styling with a hybrid diesel-electric and battery propulsion system. Passenger spaces include the Aquavit Terrace, panoramic restaurant, lounge and bar, library, shop, and a sun deck with walking track, herb garden and putting green. Its compact river-ship layout emphasizes destination-focused travel rather than large-ship entertainment.

Onboard Experience

Signature highlights

The ship features Viking’s indoor/outdoor Aquavit Terrace, asymmetric corridor design, three full accommodation decks plus a sun deck, and true two-room suites. Hybrid propulsion is intended to reduce vibration and improve operating efficiency.

Dining

Dining is centered on a panoramic restaurant, with al fresco breakfast and lunch available at the forward Aquavit Terrace. The lounge and bar also provide casual social space with scenic river views.

Entertainment

Onboard activities focus on scenery, destination enrichment and relaxed social spaces rather than casinos or large production shows. Facilities include a lounge and bar, library, shop and onboard infotainment system.

Staterooms & suites

Viking Honir has 95 outside staterooms: 25 Standard Staterooms, 22 French Balcony Staterooms, 39 Veranda Staterooms, 7 Veranda Suites and 2 Explorer Suites. The suites provide separate sleeping and sitting areas, with larger private verandas in the premium categories.

For families

The ship is designed primarily for adult travelers and destination-focused river cruising. No dedicated children's facilities or family entertainment areas were identified in the reviewed sources.

Pools, spa & wellness

The sun deck includes a walking track, shaded seating and a putting green. No full-service spa or fitness center was identified in the reviewed sources.

Accessibility

An elevator serves the Middle and Upper Decks; the operator notes that categories E and F do not have elevator access. Travelers with mobility needs should verify deck-specific access before booking.

Environmental features

The ship uses hybrid propulsion combining diesel-electric engines with a battery system. Neptun Werft states that the system absorbs peak loads and is intended to reduce fuel consumption, while Viking describes the engines as producing less vibration.
