About Viking Lofn
Viking Lofn is a 190-guest Viking Longship built for European river cruising. The 135-meter vessel combines understated Scandinavian design with panoramic public spaces, including a glass-enclosed lounge, restaurant, library, Aquavit Terrace and an open Sun Deck. Its 95 outside staterooms range from standard rooms to Explorer Suites, while the relatively small passenger complement supports an intimate onboard atmosphere. The ship is primarily suited to travelers seeking destination-focused Rhine, Rhône and Danube-style river experiences rather than resort-style facilities or extensive nightlife.
