Viking Nerthus

Viking Nerthus

Welcome aboard Viking Nerthus, a new river ship that became a part of the Viking River Cruises' Longship® fleet in 2025. Take in the wonderful sights along the Seine riverbanks as you embody the rich culture and traditions of France to bring you a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The ship is named for the Earth Goddess and Fertility Deity, according to Norse Mythology. A Viking Nerthus cruise provides you with one of the most rewarding river cruise experiences available. Some incredible features of this ship include meticulously designed Scandinavian venues, fresh and flavorful cuisine, and a wide variety of staterooms with a view. Your cruise is an inclusive value, providing you with complimentary shore excursions and onboard enrichment that goes hand-in-hand with your real-life experiences.

Shore Excursions

Viking Nerthus sails superior European itineraries that bring you right to the foot of cultural immersion in France. You have access to one free shore excursion per port of call, allowing you to experience each destination from top to bottom, leaving no sight or landmark out. If you want to go a little deeper, you can upgrade your excursion for an additional fee to embark with a smaller group, and possibly a centralized theme. Your tours are hosted by local English-speaking guides who can provide exclusive insight on any questions you might have. You also have complimentary use of audio headsets you can hear your guide without any issues! Enrichment continues onboard, where you can delve deeper into a particular topic such as art, literature, or politics of your destination(s), or learn more about tomorrow’s adventures during a port talk.

Dining Options

The cuisine served aboard Viking Nerthus is superior and will take you right back to every port you’ve discovered. Viking’s chefs are passionate about delivering the fine flavors of the region right to your plate, and nail it every time. The ingredients they use to prepare your meal come right from down the road and may even be garnished with the fresh herbs that grow right up on the sun deck. Dining on the Aquavit Terrace for lunch or dinner is a must-try for any Viking Nerthus cruise guest. Grab a casual meal from the buffet and enjoy the fresh air and beautiful scenery as you eat. House wine, beer, and soft drinks come complimentary with lunch and dinner. You may also find light snacks in the lounge when you need a snack!

Ship Highlights

Inclusive Value

Viking Nerthus provides you with the best value on the Seine. Its inclusive fares mean you never have to pay extra for wine, beer, and sodas at mealtime, nor shore excursions, enrichment, or be stuck in an inside stateroom. On top of these excellent inclusions, you can also count on attentive service, an intimate experience, and much more personality. Some of the other amenities included in your fare are:

• One complimentary shore excursion in every port of call, including UNESCO site visits;
• Free Wi-Fi;

• Specialty coffees, teas, and bottled water all day;

Another wonderful benefit of sailing onboard Viking Nerthus is the river-view staterooms! No matter what kind of accommodation you book, you’ll always have a beautiful view of the river to wake up to. There are no inside staterooms here, so anywhere you stay you will see your destinations through a half-window, a French balcony, or a full-size veranda.

From breakfast to lunch, you can count on an incredible menu onboard Viking Nerthus. From bountiful breakfast buffets with fresh fruit, eggs, and made-to-order omelets to crisp salads and delectable pasta for lunch, you’ll never be disappointed with the wide selection of offerings.
