Viking Ullur

The 2019-built Longship Viking Ullur is one of the six Viking River Cruises ships delivered in 2019. The other sister ships launched that year are Einar, Sigrun, Sigyn, Tir, and Vali.

The riverboat is named after Ullur – the Norse god of the hunt. According to mythology, he is the stepson of Thor (the hammer-wielding god of thunder and storms) and is known as a skilled archer and hunter.

The vessel (ENI number 7002114) is currently Switzerland-flagged (MMSI 269057694) and registered in Basel.

These riverboats are deployed in Europe on the Rhine and Danube rivers. Each Viking longship features an innovative (patented) corridor configuration, modern engineering and technologies, signature Scandinavian-themed decor, premium stateroom amenities, itinerary-based and expert-led enrichment programs, themed onboard entertainment, and efficiently designed public spaces. Highlights include Viking’s signature Aquavit Terrace lounge and a large number of balcony cabins, including two of the European river cruise industry’s largest suites, each with a separate bedroom and living room.
