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.

Onboard Experience
Dining
Viking Lofn has a main restaurant with floor-to-ceiling windows and the Aquavit Terrace for informal al fresco dining. A lounge and bar provide additional social space.
Entertainment
Entertainment is centered on scenic viewing, destination programming and relaxed lounge time rather than large theatrical productions. The ship also includes a library and onboard shop.
Staterooms & suites
All 95 staterooms are outside-facing and include standard, French-balcony, veranda, veranda-suite and Explorer-suite categories. Explorer and Veranda Suites provide separate living areas, while Explorer Suites add wraparound balconies.
Accessibility
An elevator connects the Middle and Upper decks, but there is no elevator access to the lower-category E and F stateroom areas. Travelers with mobility needs should verify the current deck plan and cabin suitability before booking.
Environmental features
The ship uses hybrid engines designed to reduce vibration and improve efficiency, and its Sun Deck includes solar panels and an organic herb garden.
