About Viking Radgrid
Viking Radgrid is a purpose-built Seine River Longship designed to reach central Paris and operate comfortably on the river’s restricted waterways. Delivered in 2020, the 125-metre ship carries up to 168 guests in 84 outside staterooms, including French-balcony rooms, veranda staterooms and suites. Its compact Seine-specific design includes four decks, a panoramic sun deck, solar panels and hybrid propulsion. The ship is best suited to travelers seeking Viking’s destination-focused river-cruise style in a smaller, intimate setting rather than a resort-style onboard experience.

Onboard Experience
For families
Viking’s river program is primarily designed for adults and does not provide dedicated children’s facilities or a children’s entertainment program.
Pools, spa & wellness
Wellness facilities are limited compared with ocean cruise ships; onboard outdoor space includes a walking track, shaded seating and open-air scenic areas.
Accessibility
The ship has an elevator serving the principal accommodation decks, but its compact river-ship layout and stairs may limit access to some areas. Travelers with mobility requirements should confirm current arrangements directly with Viking.
Environmental features
Viking describes Radgrid as one of its hybrid-powered Seine ships, with battery-supported propulsion and solar panels intended to reduce energy consumption.
