Viking Odin

The ship is departing from homeports Passau, Budapest and Nuremberg. This Viking longship is named after Odin/Odinn - in Norse mythology the god of wisdom, knowledge and magic, the father of all gods. He and his brothers Vili and Ve killed the world's primaeval ruler - the Ymir monster (creator of giants). Then the three gods created from wood the first human couple - Askr (man) and Embla (woman). God Odin gave them life and souls.

The boat (ENI number 7001950) is currently Switzerland-flagged (MMSI 269057389) and registered in Basel.

The state-of-the-art river ship Viking Odin longship was designed as a “green ship” by the legendary architects Yran & Storbraaten, with solar panels, hybrid energy-efficient engines and organic herb garden. The added benefit of hybrid engines helps for smoother cruising experience.
