The Viking Delling Ship

  • Built in2014
  • Capacity190
  • ByViking River Cruises

Viking Delling is a refined and modern Longship in Viking’s award-winning river cruise fleet, custom-built to navigate the great rivers of Europe with ease and grace. Named after Dellingr, the Norse god of dawn, Viking Delling reflects a spirit of renewal, clarity, and discovery—perfectly suited to travelers seeking meaningful experiences, rich cultural immersion, and the understated elegance Viking is known for. With accommodations for 190 guests, the ship offers a spacious, intimate atmosphere designed for enrichment, relaxation, and exploration.

Built to blend seamlessly into Europe’s iconic riverways, Viking Delling features a sleek, efficient layout that optimizes space and views. The ship’s asymmetrical corridor design and signature square bow enable a variety of spacious staterooms and generous public spaces, all within the footprint required to navigate historic locks and narrow passages. From the moment guests board, they are welcomed by a serene ambiance defined by soft woods, clean lines, and light-filled interiors—a nod to Scandinavian minimalism and comfort.

Accommodations on Viking Delling are all outward-facing, offering breathtaking river views throughout the voyage. Guests can choose from several categories, including Standard Staterooms, French Balcony and Veranda Staterooms, Veranda Suites with separate sleeping and living areas, and two expansive Explorer Suites located at the stern with wraparound verandas and unparalleled panoramic views. All rooms feature hotel-style beds, heated bathroom floors, premium bath amenities, and a flat-screen infotainment system, offering both luxury and functionality.

Public spaces aboard Viking Delling are crafted for community, contemplation, and scenic enjoyment. The Lounge is a hub of activity and culture, where guests gather for enrichment lectures, live performances, and daily port talks. The Aquavit Terrace—an all-season indoor-outdoor space at the bow—is ideal for casual dining, reading, or simply enjoying the view with a glass of wine. On the Sun Deck, guests will find a walking track, shaded seating, and unobstructed 360-degree vistas of passing vineyards, castles, and charming river towns.

The culinary program aboard Viking Delling is thoughtfully curated to reflect the destinations visited. Regional dishes, prepared with local ingredients, are served in the main dining room in an open-seating format, encouraging sociability and flexibility. The Aquavit Terrace offers a more relaxed, al fresco alternative, especially popular during warm afternoons or sunset hours. Complimentary beer, wine, and soft drinks are served with meals, and all dietary preferences are carefully accommodated.

Viking Delling’s itineraries include some of Europe’s most culturally and historically rich rivers, including the Danube, Rhine, and Main. Each voyage includes guided excursions in every port, led by local experts who bring the history and traditions of each destination to life. Guests can explore UNESCO World Heritage Sites, attend private tastings, participate in artisan workshops, or simply stroll through medieval squares and bustling local markets. Optional tours provide further insight into local traditions and offer deeper cultural engagement.

More than just a river ship, Viking Delling is a floating cultural salon—an elegant, inviting space designed to connect travelers with the people, stories, and landscapes of Europe. With its thoughtful design, exceptional service, and immersive approach to travel, Viking Delling offers a journey that is as inspiring as it is luxurious.
