Viking Rota

Viking Rota

Viking Rota will join the growing Viking River Cruises' Longship® fleet in 2026. Just like her sister ships, she will let you experience the main European waterways in the best way possible. 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 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 Rota cruise is the one for you!

Shore Excursions

Like most river cruises, the most noteworthy attraction of Viking Rota 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 better understand 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. You can grab a casual lunch or dinner on the beautiful Aquavit Terrace if you prefer outside dining. It’s a great way to end your evening, wining and dining as the warm sunset lingers in the background. All venues serve complimentary house wines, beers, and sodas with lunch and dinner. Always-available choices are plentiful, and light snacks are available in the lounge to hold you over between meals.

Whether you visit this terrace in the morning, noon, or night, you’re certain to love its wonderful ambiance.

Fine Dining

There’s no better way to relax than by enjoying a multicourse, regionally-inspired dinner after a long day of exploring in port. From appetizers to desserts, you can indulge in some of the finest and freshest ingredients, locally sourced from just down the road. For those who would prefer a familiar meal, always-available American options are also on the menu. Some of the options you may be able to try include homemade soups, cheeses, salads, pastries, and amazing regional entrees. If you prefer a more casual dining experience, the Aquavit Terrace is a must-try for dinner, featuring a menu selection from Manfredi’s, the specialty Italian restaurant onboard Viking Ocean Cruises ships.
