Viking Sigrun

The 2019-built Longship Viking Sigrun is one of the 6 Viking River Cruises ships delivered in 2019. The other sister ships launched that year are Einar, Sigyn, Tir, Ullur, and Vali. These riverboats are deployed in Europe on the Rhine and Danube rivers.

Each Viking Longship 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, and efficient use of public spaces. Notable features include Viking’s signature Aquavit Terrace lounge and a high number of balcony cabins, including two of the European river cruise industry’s largest suites, each with a separate bedroom and living room.

The vessel (ENI number 7002109) is currently Switzerland-flagged (MMSI 269057686) and registered in Basel.

In 2019, together with Sigrun, Viking River Cruises launched the Longships Vali, Einar, Sigyn, Tir, Ullur, and Helgrim. The seven-ship “virtual” naming ceremony was held on March 19, 2019, via satellite connections across four river ports—Basel, Switzerland (Sigrun and Einar), Rostock, Germany (Ullur and Sigyn), Brunsbuttel, Germany (Vali and Tir), and Oporto, Portugal (Helgrim). Viking Sigrun’s godmother is Wendy Atkin-Smith (Managing Director of Viking UK).

Transfers to and from Viking Sigrun, as well as airport meet-and-greet services, are included in the cruise fare only when airfares are purchased through Viking Cruises.

Viking Sigrun is part of the latest generation of Viking Cruises Longships. This patented river cruise ship design allows for larger accommodations without reducing public space or compromising overall comfort. The vessel represents the company’s latest Longship-class design, featuring energy-efficient hybrid engine technology, solar panels, and interior design by "Yran & Storbraaten" (Norway). The patented “Longship” concept ("Rottet Studios", USA) enables significantly larger passenger accommodations with full-size balconies. Additional cabin space is achieved by shifting the corridor off-center by 1 m (3.3 ft).
