Viking Hemming Wiki
To/from Viking Hemming boat transfers and airport meet & greet services are included in the fares only when airfares are purchased through the Viking cruise line.
Viking Hemming is one of the latest generation Viking River Cruises longships specifically modified for cruising on Douro River. This is a new (patented) riverboat design allowing bigger passenger accommodations without the need to shrink public areas size and to compromise the vessel's general comfort.
This Viking longship is named after Hemming of Denmark – the “peacemaker” king. Reigning over Denmark for only 2 years, Hemming is remembered for the Treaty of Heiligen (811 AD) signed between him and emperor Charlemagne (aka Charles the Great, king of the Franks and Italy). The treaty established Denmark’s southern boundary (at Eider River) with the huge Carolingian Empire.
