Viking® has revealed plans to add 10 new Viking Longships to its river fleet. Eight of these vessels will navigate the popular routes along the Rhine, Main, and Danube rivers, while two will join the Seine River. This expansion includes a Longship for the Seine, announced in February 2023.
The construction of all 10 ships commenced with a keel-laying ceremony at the Neptun Werft shipyard in Rostock, Germany. The ships are scheduled for delivery in 2025 (five ships) and 2026 (remaining five).
Viking also recently announced a new ship for the Mekong in 2025 with the addition of the Viking Tonle.
