Viking Hild Review

Review of Viking Hild

The 2016-built Longship Viking Hild cruises on the Rhine and Moselle rivers through France, Germany, and Switzerland. The ship departs from homeport Paris City (France).

This Viking longship is named after the Valkyrie Hildr (Old Norse for “battle”). Hildr (daughter of Högni and wife of Hedin) was believed to have the power to revive the dead on the battlefield, which she used to sustain the conflict between Hedin and Högni.

Viking Hild features an innovative corridor configuration (patented design), modern engineering and technologies, signature Scandinavian-themed decor, premium stateroom amenities, itinerary-based and expert-led enrichment programs, themed onboard entertainment, efficient use of public spaces, the signature Aquavit Terrace lounge, and numerous cabins with step-out balconies. Each Viking longship-class riverboat also includes two of the largest suites in the European river cruise industry.

Viking Hild Wiki

Transfers to and from the Viking Hild and airport meet-and-greet services are included in the cruise fare only when airfare is purchased through the Viking line.

Viking Hild is part of the latest generation of Viking Cruises longships. This patented river cruise ship design allows for larger accommodations without reducing the size of public areas or compromising overall comfort.

The ship’s naming ceremony took place on March 7, 2017, as part of a typical Viking “group christening” event. The ceremony was held in Koblenz, Germany and also included the longship Viking Herja. The riverboat’s godmother is Princess Stephanie Lowenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg (CEO of Weingut Furst Lowenstein winery, located in Lower Franconia). The ceremonial bottle was Veuve Clicquot Champagne.
