Viking Aegir
by Viking River Cruises
Named after the Norse god of the sea, Viking Aegir invites guests to embark on a journey where myth meets modern luxury along Europe’s most storied rivers. Designed to host just 190 guests, this state-of-the-art Viking Longship offers a refined, immersive cruise experience, blending Scandinavian elegance with cultural discovery in every detail.
Viking Aegir is thoughtfully engineered for intimate river cruising. Its innovative design includes a patented asymmetrical corridor layout, which enables a combination of full-size suites and comfortable staterooms without compromising communal space. From the light-filled Lounge to the indoor-outdoor Aquavit Terrace, every corner of the ship is oriented toward relaxation, comfort, and connection with the scenery.
The accommodations aboard Viking Aegir are serene and contemporary. Guests can choose from a variety of categories, including Standard Staterooms, French Balcony Staterooms, Veranda Staterooms, Veranda Suites, and the signature Explorer Suites. All cabins feature hotel-style beds, heated bathroom floors, premium linens, a flat-screen infotainment system, and climate control. Explorer Suites offer spacious living areas, wraparound balconies, and panoramic river views ideal for longer voyages or special occasions.
Dining aboard Viking Aegir is a celebration of regional flavors. The main restaurant presents ever-changing menus inspired by local cuisines, complemented by international favorites and expertly curated wine pairings. For a more casual atmosphere, guests can dine alfresco on the Aquavit Terrace while cruising past medieval castles, vineyards, and charming riverside villages.
What truly defines the Viking Aegir experience is its deep commitment to cultural enrichment. Onboard programming includes destination-focused lectures, hands-on cooking demonstrations, and classical performances that reflect each region’s artistic legacy. Included shore excursions in every port ensure immersive exploration, with local guides providing expert insight into history, architecture, and everyday life.
The ship’s warm and attentive staff elevate every journey. With Viking’s nearly 5-to-1 guest-to-staff ratio, personalized service is always within reach—whether arranging a custom tour, delivering in-suite breakfast, or offering thoughtful touches throughout the day. Complimentary Wi-Fi, daily bottled water, 24-hour coffee and tea service, and onboard libraries add to the seamless, all-inclusive experience.
Viking Aegir sails a variety of itineraries across the Danube, Rhine, and beyond, offering an unparalleled way to experience Central and Eastern Europe. Whether navigating the dramatic Iron Gates or exploring the imperial cities of Budapest and Vienna, the ship delivers both serenity and discovery in equal measure.
Elegant, efficient, and culturally immersive, Viking Aegir is ideal for travelers seeking meaningful exploration, authentic experiences, and the comforts of small-ship cruising.
