About Viking Skirnir
Viking Skirnir is a 135-meter Viking Longship operating European river cruises, particularly on the Rhine, Main and Danube. The ship accommodates up to 190 guests in 95 outside staterooms and is designed around Viking’s understated Scandinavian style, with extensive river views, an indoor-outdoor Aquavit Terrace and a spacious Sun Deck. Its compact river-ship layout provides a quieter, more intimate experience than a large ocean cruise ship.
