Overview

Viking Herja

You deserve the best way to travel the Rhine River, and the best experience comes on a Viking Herja cruise. Part of Viking River Cruises' Longship® fleet, this small vessel pays homage to Herja, the Decided of Fates in Norse Mythology. Viking Herja takes you to wonderful stops along the Rhine, including Amsterdam, Basel, Paris, and Zurich. This is a culturally immersive European cruise that focuses on local customs, cuisine, and onshore tours. It is inclusive, meaning that shore excursions, meals, select beverages, and onboard enrichment are all included with your cruise fare.

 Select European shore excursions are included in your fare.

Shore Excursions

The diverse itineraries offered onboard Viking Herja can take you to 4 different countries with 6 to 10 different tours. Every port includes one free shore excursion that’s led by a local, English-speaking guide. You will discover exclusive insights into landmarks, culture, history, and more. Some of the things you may get to do include exploring ancient ruins, learning about Europe’s famous windmills, or visiting natural wonders. Paid excursions are available if you prefer a more intimate tour that delves deeper into certain themes, often bringing you behind the scenes and to places that no other river cruise ship will take you. Onboard enrichment fuels your onshore experiences even further with port talks, multimedia presentations, lectures, destination-based entertainment, and more. It’s all included!

Dining Options

At dinner, you’re invited to taste the region during the multicourse dinner served at the Restaurant. Breakfast and lunch buffets are offered during the day, providing you with plenty of wonderful options that appeal to everybody. Light meals are served on the Aquavit Terrace for lunch and dinner, often consisting of a buffet with grilled items like burgers and hot dogs. Continental breakfast is also available here in the morning. The Aquavit Terrace is a wonderful place to enjoy a bite to eat during the warm weather! Complimentary house wines, beers, and sodas complete every dish. Always-available choices are plentiful, and light snacks are available in the lounge to hold you over between meals.

The Library

Viking Herja! Its highly curated selection of books consists mostly of non-fiction books that can help you learn more about where you’re going in Europe.

You can read in the library area or enjoy your book on the Sun Deck or Aquavit Terrace, in the Lounge and Bar or your stateroom!

 Viking Herja’s Library.

Lounge

The Lounge and Bar is the main hub of social activity on a Viking Herja cruise. During the day, this is a wonderful place to socialize, grab a drink, and enjoy the view from behind the large floor-to-ceiling glass windows (if you’re not on an excursion, of course). Light snacks are often served here to hold your hunger over until dinner. It’s a great place to connect with like-minded travelers and form lifelong friendships. In the evening, this is where onboard enrichment often takes place, with pulldown screens that display multimedia.

Sun Deck

The Sun Deck is a great place to relax! There’s plenty of sun, so working on your color is easier than ever. It’s a great place to read, walk along the track, work on your golf swing, or take in the aromatic scents of the fresh herb garden. This is a great place to read, enjoy coffee or a drink, socialize, or just simply take in the stunning panoramic views as you travel from one destination to the next.

Cultural Highlights

There are endless opportunities to expand your knowledge on a Viking Herja cruise. Port talks are held each night before you reach your next destination, so you can learn more about where you’re going and what to expect. Guest lectures may be part of your itinerary, featuring highly-skilled European professors who can bring you further into a particular subject, such as local art, architecture, or politics. Other stimulating enrichment activities you may discover onboard include cooking classes and demonstrations, wine tastings, musical performances of the region, and more. Many of the paid excursions will make it possible for you to partake in a hands-on workshop, where you can really get an idea of what it’s like to be a local.

Your ticket to relaxation and rejuvenation awaits, as do big savings and exclusive offers. Call us now - we’re ready to assist you today!
