Review of Viking Forseti
The 2013-built Longship Viking Forseti cruises on the Dordogne, Garonne, and Gironde rivers in France, departing from homeport Bordeaux.
This Viking longship is named after Forseti – in Norse mythology, the son of Nanna and Baldur, known for judging disputes and settling quarrels among both humans and gods.
Viking Forseti was designed as a “green ship” by the renowned architects Yran & Storbraaten, featuring solar panels, hybrid energy-efficient engines, and an onboard organic herb garden.
The boat (ENI number 7001965) is currently Switzerland-flagged (MMSI 269057418) and registered in Basel.

Three-quarters of Viking Forseti cabins feature either a French balcony or a full veranda, while Suites include both. Onboard, there are 95 outside staterooms (2 Explorer Suites, 7 Veranda Suites, 39 Veranda Staterooms, 22 French Balcony Staterooms, and 25 Standard Staterooms) across 8 categories. All Suites have two rooms, with a veranda off the living room and a French balcony in the bedroom. Explorer Suites offer 270-degree views of the river and surrounding scenery.

Viking Forseti Wiki
Transfers to and from the Viking Forseti, as well as airport meet-and-greet services, are included in the cruise fare only when airfare is purchased through the Viking cruise line.
Viking Forseti is part of the latest generation of Viking Cruises longships. This new (patented) river cruise ship design allows for larger accommodations without reducing the size of public areas or compromising overall comfort. The Viking ship Forseti represents the line's Longship-class riverboat design. Viking Cruises longships feature energy-efficient hybrid engine technology, solar panels, and interior design by "Yran & Storbraaten" (Norway). The patented "longship" concept (by "Rottet Studios", USA) enables significantly larger passenger accommodations with full-size balconies. The additional cabin space is achieved by shifting the deck corridor approximately 1 m (3.3 ft) off-center.
Other Viking river cruise ships operating in France include the longships Buri, Delling, Heimdal, and Hermod.
The riverboat’s godmother is Mrs. Zhang Ling, a teacher at the Viking-sponsored "Cen He" school in Jinzhou (China) and a coach of the children’s orchestra that performs for Viking Cruises Yangtze River guests as part of the onboard entertainment. The ship’s christening ceremony was held in Amsterdam, Holland, setting a Guinness World Record for "Most Ships Inaugurated in One Day by One Company". On March 20, 2013, Forseti was inaugurated together with the Viking longships Aegir, Atla, Bragi, Embla, Jarl, Rinda, Skadi, Tor, and Var. Four of the longships were present in Amsterdam, while the other six attended the ceremony via live satellite video link from the Neptun Werft shipbuilding yard in Rostock, Germany.
