Viking Dagur
by Viking River Cruises
Viking Dagur is one of Viking's state-of-the-art Longships, purposefully crafted to explore the storied rivers of Central and Eastern Europe. Designed with elegance, functionality, and immersive travel in mind, Viking Dagur offers a modern, comfortable, and culturally rich cruise experience for up to 190 guests. Named after the Norse god of the day, Viking Dagur lives up to its namesake by illuminating every journey with insight, warmth, and memorable daily discoveries.
Aboard Viking Dagur, Scandinavian design is more than an aesthetic—it’s a philosophy. Clean lines, neutral tones, natural light, and minimalist furnishings create an ambiance that is both refined and relaxing. The ship’s innovative engineering includes an off-center corridor and a patented square bow that maximize interior space without increasing the vessel’s size, allowing for more spacious accommodations and thoughtfully arranged public areas without sacrificing maneuverability on Europe’s winding rivers.
Guest accommodations are all river-facing and designed for comfort and practicality. The range of staterooms includes Standard Staterooms with half-height windows, French Balcony and Veranda Staterooms with full-length glass doors, and elegant Veranda Suites that offer separate living and sleeping areas. At the top end are the two Explorer Suites, among the largest on the river, featuring wraparound verandas and panoramic views. Every room is equipped with hotel-style beds, premium linens, heated bathroom floors, ample storage, and a flat-screen infotainment system.
Dining is central to the experience aboard Viking Dagur, with menus that celebrate the culinary traditions of the regions explored. The main restaurant features open seating and rotating menus that incorporate local ingredients and regional wine pairings—from Hungarian goulash to Austrian pastries. The Aquavit Terrace at the ship’s bow provides an al fresco alternative, perfect for light lunches or sunset dinners with ever-changing scenery.
Life onboard is enriched through cultural programming and social spaces that invite connection. The Lounge is the ship’s heart, where guests gather for daily briefings, lectures, live music, and socializing. The Sun Deck offers sweeping views, shaded seating, and even a putting green and walking track. With fewer passengers than most ocean-going vessels, Viking Dagur fosters an intimate, community-focused atmosphere where conversations flourish and every guest feels like a priority.
Shore excursions are led by knowledgeable local guides and are included at every port. Guests can enjoy walking tours of medieval cities, visits to UNESCO World Heritage Sites, wine tastings in family-owned vineyards, and insider access to castles, cathedrals, and artisan workshops. Optional excursions and privileged experiences allow for even deeper exploration, such as classical concerts, cooking classes, or thermal spa visits.
Whether sailing the Danube, Main, or Rhine, Viking Dagur provides an enriching and seamless way to discover the heart of Europe. Its stylish design, curated cultural experiences, and personalized service make it a standout choice for discerning travelers seeking both comfort and authenticity on their river journeys.
