Viking Annar

Viking Annar

Welcome aboard Viking Annar, a new ship in the growing Viking River Cruises' Longship® fleet that started sailing in 2025. Experience the main European waterways in the best way possible with a Viking Annar cruise along the Moselle and Rhine Rivers. The ship offers a variety of comfortable staterooms with breathtaking views from a French or a full-size balcony, a luxury not usually found on other river cruise ships. Other incredible features include a panoramic sundeck, a putting green, a live herb garden, a stunning observation lounge, and so much more. If you want to experience Europe the right way, complete with gourmet regional cuisine, deep cultural immersion, and endless possibilities to explore, then Viking Annar is the river ship for you!

Shore Excursions

Like most river cruises, the most noteworthy attraction of Viking Annar is the complimentary shore excursions that are included in your fare. Every port of call comes with one free excursion per guest, with the option to book an upgraded excursion (usually a smaller group size and more emphasis on a certain topic). Easily enhance your experience by attending a port talk the night before, so you have a better understanding of the region before you see it for yourself. All excursions are guided by English-speaking guides, who can be heard through complimentary headsets provided by Viking.

Dining Options

New experiences follow you back onboard, where you can experience the delicious flavors of the region through a five-course dinner. Carefully prepared by highly acclaimed chefs, you can expect to try creamy, homemade soups, crisp salads, gourmet entrees, and more. If you prefer outside dining, you can grab a casual lunch or dinner on the beautiful Aquavit Terrace. It’s a great way to end your evening, wining and dining as the warm sunset lingers in the background. Complimentary house wines, beers, and sodas are served with lunch and dinner in all venues. Always-available choices are plentiful, and light snacks are available in the lounge to hold you over between meals.
