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.
