Overview
Viking Egil
Expand your perspective of new destinations and cultures with a wonderful Viking Egil cruise along the Danube River. Part of Viking River Cruises' Longship® fleet, this ship is named for the legendary Warrior Poet who stood for courage, strength, intelligence, and elegance in the Old Norse sagas. Viking Egil is unlike any other river cruising experience you’ve had before. Boasting a wide variety of staterooms, mouthwatering cuisine, and complimentary shore excursions, Viking Egil is for those who love to learn more. Complimentary shore excursions put you right at the foot of European history and culture, allowing you to experience it for yourself.
Excursions and Enrichment
Enrichment is the main focus of Viking Egil cruises. You can enjoy a shore excursion in each port and heighten your experience by meeting new people and seeing new places. Onboard enrichment includes port talks, guest lectures, multimedia presentations, and more to prepare you for the next day’s adventure. Once you’re in port, you’ll appreciate it like a local! Free and for-fee excursions are available, both led by locally-based, English-speaking guides. You won’t have to worry about missing a word – all guests get complimentary use of audio headsets, so your experience is second to none. The best way to learn more about the history and culture of a destination is to attend a nightly port talk. If you want to delve deep, you can catch a guest lecture on a specialty subject, such as art or religion. If you prefer to take in your information through reading, visit the curated library aboard Viking Egil.
Dining Options
Awaken your senses at dinner time and allow your taste buds to revel in new experiences, too! Dinner in the main restaurant consists of a multicourse meal inspired by the region's flavors. Viking’s passionate chefs do not disappoint, using fresh, locally sourced ingredients to prepare each dish perfectly. A casual lunch and dinner buffet is always available on the Aquavit Terrace, bringing a nice change from the indoor dining room. There’s nothing more romantic and unforgettable about enjoying dinner as you roll past a castle or other historic landmark. Complimentary house wines, beers, and sodas complete every meal. Always-available choices are plentiful, and light snacks are available in the lounge to hold you over between meals.

Ship Highlights
Aquavit Terrace
The Aquavit Terrace is a Viking staple and a fan-favorite.

You will discover plenty of comfortable seating, where you can rest and relax without having to sit at a table. If you’re lucky, you might be able to hear the soothing sounds of the indoor pianist during cocktail hour!
