  • grounding - 2026 (on the Danube River near Vidin, Bulgaria)

28 July 2026Ship Grounding

On 28 July 2026, the Longship Viking Ullur ran aground on the Bulgarian section of the Danube at ~817 rkm/river kilometer, off the village of Gomotartsi (~25 km/16 mi upstream from Vidin).

The large riverboat was scheduled to replenish food and drinking water supplies in Vidin but was unable to reach the port after running aground.

At the time of the grounding, the ship carried 186 passengers and 52 crew members.

No injuries, water ingress or pollution were reported.

Bulgarian Border Police conducted a full passenger evacuation after another cruise vessel (CroisiEurope's Vivaldi) was unable to reach the casualty due to insufficient water depth.

The authorities classified the accident as a low-water navigation grounding.

Following authorisation from the River Supervision Directorate in Lom and an assessment of the situation, Border Police deployed a patrol boat from Vidin to transfer all passengers and their luggage ashore. The 52 crew and staff remained onboard.

The accident occurred during the 10-night "Passage to Eastern Europe Cruise" (itinerary July 28-Aust 7, from Bucharest to Budapest), that was scheduled to visit Bucharest (Jul 28-29/overnight, Bucharest-Giurgiu transfer for embarkation), Rousse (Jul 30), Vidin (Jul 31), Golubac (Aug 1), Belgrade (Aug 2), Novi Sad (Aug 3), Osijek (Aug 4), Kalocsa (Aug 5), and Budapest (Aug 6-7/overnight, debarkation).
