About Viking Rolf
Viking Rolf is a 190-guest Viking Longship built by NEPTUN WERFT and introduced for European river cruising in 2016. At about 135 meters long, the ship carries 95 cabins and emphasizes bright Scandinavian design, outdoor viewing areas, and balcony-style accommodations.

Its standard European river itinerary profile and relatively small capacity make it suited to travelers seeking destination-focused cruising rather than resort-style onboard attractions.
