Viking Dagur Facilities

Herb Garden
Herb Garden Included in fare
A hallmark of Viking Ocean Cruises is its attention to detail, and one of the most unique touches is the Herb Garden found aboard every Viking ocean ship. This living garden, located on the Aquavit Terrace, brings fresh ingredients directly to the table, connecting guests to both nature and the flavors of the destinations they explore. The garden is more than just a design feature—it is a working space where herbs are grown year-round using innovative hydroponic technology. Rosemary, basil, thyme, mint, and other culinary favorites thrive in a climate-controlled environment, ensuring a steady supply of fresh herbs regardless of the season or sailing region. For guests, it is a reminder that even while crossing vast oceans, Viking remains grounded in authenticity and freshness. These herbs are used throughout Viking’s dining venues, adding a touch of garden-to-table refinement to dishes in Manfredi’s Italian Restaurant, The Chef’s Table, and The Restaurant. A simple pasta may be elevated with basil harvested that very morning, or a cocktail might be garnished with freshly picked mint. The result is cuisine that feels vibrant and alive, reflecting Viking’s commitment to quality and sustainability. The Herb Garden also plays a role in Viking’s enrichment programming. Guests may encounter chefs leading demonstrations that showcase how fresh herbs are integrated into regional recipes, or bartenders explaining how herbs enhance cocktail pairings. These moments turn the garden into more than a culinary feature—it becomes an interactive space that deepens the onboard experience. What makes the Viking Herb Garden especially appealing is its symbolism. Just as Viking voyages connect travelers to history, culture, and destinations, the garden connects them to nature, flavor, and the artistry of cuisine. It is a simple but elegant reminder that luxury lies not only in grandeur but also in thoughtful details that enhance everyday moments. Across Viking’s ocean fleet, the Herb Garden has become a signature feature, admired by travelers who appreciate the blend of sustainability, culinary innovation, and design. It is more than a collection of plants—it is a living expression of Viking’s philosophy: fresh, authentic, and deeply connected to the journey.

Onboard Lectures
Onboard Lectures Included in fare
A journey with Viking River Cruises is designed to open doors to culture, history, and tradition at every stop. That sense of discovery begins even before stepping ashore, thanks to the ship’s Onboard Lectures. These engaging talks, led by local specialists and guest experts, give guests the background and context that bring each destination vividly to life. Topics shift with the rivers themselves. On the Danube, travelers might hear about the power struggles of medieval Europe or the cultural legacy of Vienna’s music scene. On the Rhine, lectures often highlight the art and architecture that shaped the region, while cruises through Portugal’s Douro Valley may focus on the winemaking traditions that define its rolling hills. The talks are carefully chosen to match the itinerary, turning each day’s sailing into a prelude to the adventures ahead. The setting is relaxed and welcoming. Held in the main Lounge, the sessions feel more like an intimate conversation than a formal classroom. Comfortable seating, panoramic views, and the option to enjoy a coffee or glass of wine create an atmosphere where learning feels effortless. Guests often remark on how these insights change the way they experience excursions. A cathedral isn’t simply admired for its beauty—it is understood within the context of centuries of history. A tasting of regional wine carries new meaning after hearing about the land and traditions that produced it. These moments of connection transform sightseeing into something far richer.

Aquavit Terrace
Aquavit Terrace Included in fare
One of the most distinctive features of Viking River Cruises is the Aquavit Terrace, a beautiful indoor-outdoor space located at the bow of every Viking Longship®. With its sweeping glass walls and alfresco seating, it was the first of its kind on Europe’s rivers—a venue designed to bring guests closer to the scenery while enjoying a relaxed dining experience. Today, it has become a signature hallmark of the Viking journey. By day, the Aquavit Terrace serves as the perfect spot for casual meals and light refreshments. Guests often begin their mornings here with a fresh breakfast as the ship glides past riverside villages or rolling vineyards. At lunchtime, the terrace offers an inviting alternative to the main restaurant, with menus featuring regional specialties, lighter fare, and familiar favorites, all prepared with Viking’s emphasis on quality and flavor. Afternoons and evenings bring their own charm. Many travelers choose the terrace for a glass of wine, a cappuccino, or simply to enjoy the passing landscapes from the comfort of the bow. During warm summer evenings, it transforms into a social hub where guests gather with friends to share stories, toast the day’s discoveries, and watch the sun set over medieval skylines or verdant riverbanks. The design of the Aquavit Terrace is what makes it stand out. Floor-to-ceiling windows slide open to create a seamless transition between indoors and outdoors, allowing it to adapt to the season and the weather. On sunny days it feels airy and open, while on cooler evenings it becomes a cozy retreat still filled with natural light and views of the water. More than just a dining venue, the Aquavit Terrace is a front-row seat to the journey itself. On sailings through the Rhine, Danube, Seine, Douro, and beyond, it provides an unparalleled perspective of river life. Guests can watch castles drift past, see locals cycling along the riverbanks, or enjoy the stillness of morning mist over the water—all while savoring a meal or drink in comfort. Across Viking’s fleet of Longships®, the Aquavit Terrace has become a signature highlight, beloved for its versatility, design, and connection to the world outside. It is more than a lounge or restaurant; it is a space that captures the very essence of river cruising—intimate, scenic, and unforgettable.

River Cafe
River Cafe Included in fare
Dining aboard a Viking River Cruise is designed to be flexible, and one of the most inviting options for relaxed meals is the River Café. Located on the Aquavit Terrace, this venue offers an informal, light-filled setting where guests can enjoy freshly prepared dishes while never straying far from the river views. It’s a space that blends comfort, variety, and Viking’s signature attention to detail. Unlike the more formal Restaurant, the River Café is perfect for those moments when guests want something casual. Breakfasts here might include pastries, fruit, and yogurt served alongside fresh coffee, while lunches often feature soups, sandwiches, salads, and regional specialties. The emphasis is on quality and freshness, with menus that reflect both familiar favorites and flavors inspired by the day’s destination. The open design of the Aquavit Terrace enhances the dining experience. Guests can choose to sit indoors behind panoramic glass or step outside to the bow of the ship, where alfresco tables provide front-row views of castles, vineyards, or lively riverside towns. This connection to the landscape makes every meal feel like part of the journey itself. The River Café is also a favorite for those who enjoy flexibility. Guests returning from a morning excursion can stop by for a light bite before continuing their day, while others may prefer to enjoy a casual dinner here instead of a longer multi-course meal. With attentive service and Viking’s all-inclusive approach, the experience is always seamless. What sets the River Café apart is its atmosphere. It’s social without being crowded, elegant without being formal, and always close to the heart of the voyage—the river itself. Whether it’s a quick coffee at sunrise, a sandwich after exploring ashore, or an easygoing dinner with friends, the River Café delivers comfort with a Scandinavian touch.

The Restaurant
The Restaurant Included in fare
At the heart of every Viking River Cruise is The Restaurant, the main dining room aboard the Longships®. Bright, spacious, and framed by panoramic windows, it provides a refined setting where guests gather for meals that showcase both international favorites and regional specialties. From leisurely breakfasts to elegant dinners, The Restaurant is where Viking’s culinary philosophy—fresh, destination-inspired, and beautifully presented—comes to life. Breakfast in The Restaurant is designed to suit every appetite. Guests may enjoy a full buffet featuring fruit, pastries, cheeses, and traditional hot dishes, or order à la carte options prepared to their preference. For many, it’s the perfect way to begin a day of exploring, with attentive service and sweeping views of the riverbanks passing by. Lunch offers variety and balance. Depending on the itinerary, guests might sample light soups and salads, international comfort foods, or regional specialties tied to the day’s port of call. A cruise through Hungary may feature a goulash soup, while sailings on the Rhine might bring sauerbraten or seasonal German dishes. For those who prefer lighter fare, familiar options are always available, ensuring every palate is satisfied. Dinner is the highlight of the day in The Restaurant. Each evening, menus combine contemporary cuisine with locally inspired creations, giving guests the chance to “taste” the destination. Starters might feature regional cheeses or seafood, followed by entrees such as braised meats, fresh fish, or vegetarian plates prepared with seasonal ingredients. Desserts often reflect European traditions, from strudel in Austria to crème brûlée in France. Fine wines and premium beverages are included at every meal, with regional vintages chosen to complement the cuisine. The Restaurant typically operates at set times: breakfast service in the morning before excursions, lunch in the early afternoon, and dinner in the evening, often beginning around 7:00 p.m. Unlike larger cruise lines, there are no multiple seatings or crowded dining halls. Guests may arrive when they wish during the posted hours and choose where to sit, enjoying a relaxed, open-seating policy that encourages meeting new friends while also allowing for privacy. What makes The Restaurant special is not only the food but also the setting. Floor-to-ceiling windows line the room, ensuring that every meal is accompanied by views of passing vineyards, riverside villages, or illuminated skylines. Elegant Scandinavian design, attentive service, and an unhurried pace make each dining experience feel both personal and memorable.

Golf Putting Green
Golf Putting Green Included in fare
Life aboard Viking River Cruises balances cultural discovery ashore with moments of pure relaxation on board. Among the most charming features of the Sun Deck on Viking’s Longships® is the Golf Putting Green, a lighthearted activity space that invites guests to practice their short game while surrounded by Europe’s most stunning river landscapes. The putting green is designed for casual fun, not competition, making it accessible to everyone from seasoned golfers to first-timers. A few putts on deck quickly become part of the day’s rhythm—perhaps in the morning before excursions, during a leisurely afternoon sail, or in the evening as the sun sets over castle-topped hills and vineyard-clad riverbanks. What makes this putting green unforgettable is the setting itself. While many golf courses boast scenic views, few can match the sight of medieval towns drifting past on the Rhine, terraced vineyards lining the Douro, or the gothic spires of Central Europe rising just beyond the riverbanks. The combination of play and panorama is uniquely Viking, blending relaxation with connection to the journey outside. The Golf Putting Green also adds to the social life of the Sun Deck. Guests gather for friendly challenges, laugh over close shots, and share the joy of playing a familiar game in an extraordinary setting. It complements the other amenities available on deck, including the walking track, shuffleboard, and plenty of loungers for those who prefer relaxation to recreation. Part of the appeal is its simplicity. There’s no need for lessons or lengthy rules—just a putter, a ball, and the open river views. For many, it becomes one of those unexpected highlights of the cruise: a casual game that sparks conversations, creates memories, and brings travelers together.

Library
Library Included in fare
The Library, found on every Viking Longship®, is a peaceful retreat designed for guests who appreciate the simple joy of reading, reflection, or quiet conversation while surrounded by views of the river. The space is thoughtfully integrated into the ship’s inviting public areas. Shelves are stocked with a carefully curated selection of books ranging from history and travel to novels and regional literature, often reflecting the cultures and destinations along the ship’s itinerary. Guests can settle into a comfortable chair with a book about the castles of the Rhine or the cuisine of Provence, deepening their connection to the places they’ll see along the way. The Library also serves as a social space, albeit a quiet one. Guests may exchange books or recommendations, work on puzzles, or enjoy a board game with a traveling companion. For some, it becomes a daily ritual: a morning stop before excursions, or an evening retreat after dinner in the Aquavit Terrace or The Restaurant.

Shuffle Board
Shuffle Board Included in fare
The Sun Deck aboard Viking’s Longships® is more than just a place for lounging—it’s a hub of lighthearted activity. Among its highlights is the shuffleboard court, a timeless game that has long been linked with the tradition of cruising. On Viking River Cruises, this simple yet engaging pastime is reimagined in an intimate, open-air setting where guests can play while surrounded by the landscapes of Europe’s great rivers. The game itself is easy to learn, making it a favorite for guests of all ages and skill levels. Using cues, players slide discs along the court, aiming for scoring zones while trying to outplay their opponents. The rules are straightforward, but the fun lies in the mix of strategy, timing, and friendly competition. What makes shuffleboard aboard a Viking river ship so memorable is the backdrop. Instead of endless stretches of sea, the Sun Deck court offers constantly changing views—castles perched above the Rhine, vineyard-covered hillsides along the Danube, or the golden terraces of Portugal’s Douro Valley. Each match is accompanied by the sights and sounds of the riverside, turning a simple game into an unforgettable experience. Part of the appeal is the balance it strikes. Shuffleboard doesn’t demand athleticism, but it encourages movement and interaction, fitting seamlessly into Viking’s philosophy of relaxed, enriching travel. A morning game before excursions or an evening round at sunset can easily become part of the day’s rhythm.

Jogging Track
Jogging Track Included in fare
The Jogging Track, located on the Sun Deck of every Viking Longship®, gives guests the opportunity to enjoy a morning run or leisurely walk while taking in Europe’s most breathtaking river scenery. The track encircles the Sun Deck, offering a dedicated space for movement at any pace. Early risers often head up to walk or jog as the sun rises over castles, vineyards, or historic riverbanks, while others prefer a late-afternoon stroll before dinner. Because the rivers are calm and the track is never crowded, it’s as peaceful as it is invigorating. What makes the jogging track especially memorable is the setting itself. Few fitness routines can compare to jogging past the terraced hills of the Douro Valley, the medieval skylines along the Danube, or the half-timbered towns of the Rhine. Even a gentle walk becomes a moment of discovery, with panoramic views that shift constantly as the ship glides along the river. It turns daily exercise into a celebration of the voyage itself, offering guests the chance to stay fit while enjoying some of the most iconic river views in the world.

Onboard Shopping
Onboard Shopping Not Included in fare
The shops focus on items travelers are most likely to appreciate: regional keepsakes, high-quality apparel, Viking-branded accessories, and travel essentials. Guests may pick up a scarf inspired by Nordic design, a practical layer for cooler evenings on deck, or a souvenir to bring home as a reminder of their voyage. Convenience is part of the appeal. If sunscreen, toiletries, or small necessities are forgotten at home, the shop provides an easy solution without interrupting the flow of the journey. The mix of practical items and keepsakes ensures that every visit feels worthwhile, whether browsing casually or picking up something specific. Many of the offerings connect to Viking’s cultural ethos. Books on history, art, and travel often find their way onto the shelves, echoing the enrichment found in onboard lectures and excursions. Jewelry and accessories are chosen with care, emphasizing quality over quantity, much like Viking’s philosophy in other aspects of the onboard experience. The atmosphere of the shops mirrors the design of the ships themselves: compact, elegant, and efficient. There’s no sprawling retail promenade, but instead a boutique-like corner that aligns with the overall intimacy of river cruising. Guests stop by in passing—perhaps after a morning tour or before dinner in the Restaurant—to browse or select a gift.

Sun Deck
Sun Deck Included in fare
At the very top of every Viking Longship®, the Sun Deck stretches the length of the vessel, offering a space that is as versatile as it is beautiful. It is here, high above the riverbanks, that guests enjoy some of the most memorable moments of their journey—lounging in the open air, playing classic games, or simply watching Europe’s great rivers unfold in panoramic view. During sunny afternoons, the Sun Deck becomes a serene retreat. Comfortable loungers line the deck, perfect for reading, napping, or soaking in the scenery while the ship glides past castles, vineyards, and medieval towns. Shade awnings provide respite on warmer days, while the fresh air and wide-open views remind guests of the intimacy and pace that make river cruising unique. For those who enjoy staying active, the Sun Deck offers more than just a place to relax. The walking and jogging track circles the deck, allowing guests to begin their day with a scenic stroll or a brisk jog as the morning mist lifts off the water. The golf putting green provides lighthearted fun with a spectacular backdrop, while the shuffleboard court carries forward a timeless cruising tradition. These activities add a playful dimension to the journey, inviting guests to mix recreation with relaxation. The Sun Deck also shines as a social space. It’s often the backdrop for informal gatherings, whether a few friends competing in shuffleboard, couples toasting with wine from the day’s excursion, or fellow travelers sharing quiet conversation as the sun sets. Many guests consider it their favorite spot to connect—with the landscape, with companions, and with the spirit of the voyage itself. Design is central to the experience. Viking’s signature Scandinavian style emphasizes clean lines, uncluttered layouts, and functionality that allows every guest to find their own perfect corner. From quiet loungers to lively activity areas, the Sun Deck manages to be both expansive and intimate, offering something for everyone. No matter the itinerary—whether sailing through the Danube’s Wachau Valley, the Rhine Gorge, the Seine past Paris, or the terraced hills of the Douro Valley—the Sun Deck is a constant highlight. It frames every view, enhances every moment, and reflects Viking’s philosophy of bringing guests closer to the beauty of the world in comfort and style.

The Lounge
The Lounge Included in fare
Every Viking Longship® has a space where the day begins, where evenings naturally unfold, and where travelers connect most easily—the Lounge. With its floor-to-ceiling windows, comfortable seating, and inviting atmosphere, it serves as the central gathering place on board, blending relaxation, entertainment, and Viking’s signature hospitality. During the day, The Lounge is bright and airy, filled with natural light from its panoramic glass walls. Guests settle in with a cappuccino after breakfast, read a book from the nearby Library, or gather with companions to watch the scenery pass by. The proximity to the Aquavit Terrace makes it an ideal spot to transition between indoor comfort and open-air views. Afternoons often bring quiet moments, but The Lounge also doubles as a hub for enrichment. This is where Viking hosts its onboard lectures, destination briefings, and occasional demonstrations tied to the cultures along the river. The space manages to balance education with ease—guests can sip wine, take notes, or simply listen and reflect while the river drifts by. As the sun sets, The Lounge transforms. Live music from a resident pianist or small ensemble creates an elegant soundtrack, while bartenders prepare cocktails, fine wines, and spirits—all included in Viking’s fare-free promise. Guests gather before or after dinner, exchanging stories from the day’s excursions or planning what’s ahead. On some evenings, cultural performances by local artists turn the space into a stage for authentic music and dance. What makes The Lounge so versatile is the way it adapts to different rhythms. It can be lively when filled with conversation and music, or peaceful when guests are simply gazing out at the illuminated skyline of Budapest, Vienna, or Strasbourg. With plush seating arranged for both intimacy and sociability, it’s easy to feel at home here whether traveling solo, as a couple, or with a group of friends.

Shore Excursions
Shore Excursions Included in fare
Traveling on a Viking River Cruise means stepping directly into the history, culture, and daily life of Europe’s most fascinating destinations. Each itinerary is enriched with carefully designed excursions, included at every port, that allow guests to explore more than just the riverbanks—they offer genuine immersion into the towns and cities along the way. The heart of Viking’s program is the included walking tour in every port. Led by local guides, these experiences are designed to reveal the essence of each destination. Guests may stroll cobblestone streets in medieval towns, admire Gothic cathedrals, or pause in bustling market squares where history and modern life blend seamlessly. Because the ships dock in the center of town, excursions often begin right at the gangway, making exploration effortless and intimate. Beyond the included tours, Viking offers a range of optional excursions for those who want to go deeper. These might include wine tastings in the Wachau Valley, a visit to an art museum in Paris, a tour of a castle overlooking the Rhine, or a food-focused exploration of Budapest. Many of these optional tours are small-group experiences, giving travelers a more personal perspective on the culture and traditions of the region. Cultural enrichment is at the core of every shore experience. Guests don’t just see landmarks—they meet the people who bring them to life. A chef might lead a cooking class in Lyon, a winemaker could share insights in Porto, or a historian might walk guests through World War II sites along the Seine. These encounters add layers of meaning to each stop, transforming sightseeing into connection. Accessibility is another hallmark of Viking’s excursions. Tours are typically offered at varying paces—gentle walks for those who prefer to move slowly, standard tours for most travelers, and more active options for guests who enjoy climbing, hiking, or cycling. QuietVox headsets make it easy to hear guides clearly, even in busy streets or open plazas, ensuring that no detail is missed. The variety is matched by the rhythm of river cruising itself. With only about 190 guests on board, groups remain small, creating a more personal and relaxed experience.
