Viking Baldur

Viking Baldur is one of Viking’s award-winning Longships, designed for immersive river cruising through the heart of Europe. Named after the Norse god of light and purity, the ship brings a sense of serenity and clarity to every journey. With a guest capacity of 190 and an innovative layout that maximizes both space and comfort, Viking Baldur delivers a refined and enriching experience along the continent’s most iconic rivers, including the Rhine, Main, and Danube.

At first glance, Viking Baldur impresses with its clean Scandinavian lines, understated elegance, and attention to detail. The ship's layout encourages exploration and ease of movement, with wide corridors, open public areas, and panoramic windows that keep the surrounding landscapes in full view. Every space aboard Viking Baldur is designed to feel like an extension of the destinations visited—calm, authentic, and beautifully crafted.

Accommodations on Viking Baldur include a range of stateroom categories to suit different preferences, from French Balcony and Veranda Staterooms to Veranda Suites and the exceptional Explorer Suites located at the stern.
