Overview
Viking Heimdal
Embark on the most in-depth adventure in France and take a spectacular Viking Heimdal cruise along the Rhone and Rhine Rivers. Part of Viking River Cruises' Longship® fleet, this small ship represents the Norse Guardian of the Gods. According to Norse Mythology, Heimdal used his gift of sight and hearing to protect the gods of those times. Like Heimdal, you too can indulge in all five senses when you sail onboard the namesake ship. Viking Heimdal takes you through the wonderful ports of France, making stops at highly sought-after destinations like Avignon, Arles, Viviers, and Lyon. You can see, hear, smell, and taste the cultural delights of France, as well as get a chance to participate in hands-on workshops and demonstrations. Combined with Viking’s inclusive fares, all river-view staterooms, and the finest cuisine around, this European cruise will not disappoint.
Shore Excursions
The primary focus of all Viking Heimdal cruises is deep cultural immersion. In exchange for all the bells and whistles of larger cruise ships, this vessel is small enough to visit quaint ports, and has an outstanding onboard enrichment program, taking you one step further into local culture, history, and traditions. Every port includes one free shore excursion. You can also upgrade to a paid excursion for smaller group sizes, more centralized topics, and exclusive behind-the-scenes opportunities. During an excursion, you might get to visit the famous Normandy beaches of WWII, visit vineyards, and even taste your way through Lyon. Onboard enrichment programming brings your onshore experiences to life through port talks, lectures, musical performances, tastings, classes, and cuisine.
Dining Options
Don’t settle for another boring meal. Onboard Viking Heimdal, it’s easy to put yourself in the shoes of a local by indulging in regionally-inspired cuisine! Carefully made from fresh ingredients, every dinner is reflective of where you went that day and is served as a five-course masterpiece. Lunch and dinner buffets are held on the Aquavit Terrace, cooked on a small gas grill. When the weather is nice, the terrace is a great place to enjoy a meal. Breakfast and lunch buffets are also served in the main dining room, providing you with tons of delicious options, suitable for every taste. 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.
