About Viking Ve

Viking Ve is a 190-guest Viking Longship built by Neptun Werft in 2015 for European river cruising. Its compact 135-metre design is tailored to the Rhine, Main, Danube and connected waterways. The ship combines Scandinavian-inspired public spaces with outside staterooms, French balconies, veranda accommodations and suites. A small passenger complement, panoramic lounge, Aquavit Terrace and open Sun Deck create a comparatively intimate river-cruise experience, while the shallow-draft design supports navigation through Europe’s inland waterways.

Onboard Experience

Signature highlights

The ship features a panoramic lounge, Aquavit Terrace, Sun Deck with 360-degree views, shaded seating, a walking track, putting green, herb garden and solar panels. Its design emphasizes efficient access to European river destinations and relaxed onboard observation.

Dining

Dining facilities include a main restaurant with panoramic views, the Aquavit Terrace and casual outdoor seating. Viking’s Longship concept emphasizes regional cuisine and included wine with meals, although the operator’s ship page does not publish a detailed vessel-specific menu.

Entertainment

Entertainment is centered on the panoramic lounge, onboard lectures, cultural programming and informal social spaces rather than large-scale theater production. The open Sun Deck and lounge provide principal areas for scenic viewing and evening relaxation.

Staterooms & suites

Viking Ve has 95 outside staterooms for up to 190 guests, including Standard, French Balcony and Veranda staterooms, seven Veranda Suites and two Explorer Suites. The suites provide separate living and sleeping areas, with a veranda and French balcony.

For families

The ship is designed primarily for adult river travelers and does not advertise dedicated children’s clubs, water attractions or family entertainment facilities. Families can use the ship’s shared lounges, dining areas and open Sun Deck.

Pools, spa & wellness

Wellness amenities are limited to the Longship’s outdoor walking track and open-air spaces. The ship page does not list a full-service spa, fitness center or swimming pool.

Accessibility

The ship provides elevator access between passenger decks, but its river-vessel layout includes stairs and other space constraints. Prospective guests with mobility needs should confirm cabin, gangway and excursion suitability directly with Viking before booking.

Environmental features

The Longship design incorporates solar panels and an organic herb garden on the Sun Deck. Its compact river-going profile and diesel-electric propulsion are intended for efficient operation on European waterways.
