Scandinavian serenity and discoveries aboard Viking Hervor


Viking Hervor reveals a new way to explore Europe’s rivers, combining Scandinavian design, a calming atmosphere, and advanced technologies. Built in 2020, Viking Hervor offers a capacity of around 190 passengers, a bright decor inspired by Nordic nature, and the clean lines typical of the Longships. Designed for serene and culturally rich journeys, it provides remarkable comfort and an authentic immersion into each region it travels through with gentle depth.

Nordic atmospheres and moments of harmony

Clarity and interior calm

The cabins of Viking Hervor embrace the principles of Scandinavian simplicity: light wood, Nordic textiles, and soft lighting that enhances the natural brightness onboard. The Explorer Suites feature a private living area and two balconies, while the Veranda cabins offer an outdoor space ideal for admiring the riverbanks. The glass-accented bathrooms, premium bedding, and optimized storage provide a carefully curated comfort designed specifically for long and wonderfully smooth sailings.

Spaces that breathe the North

In the lounges of Viking Hervor, the atmosphere is crafted for gentle conviviality: comfortable armchairs, a panoramic library, an inviting bar, and an Atrium filled with light thanks to glass walls spanning two levels. The furniture, created by Scandinavian designers, reinforces this impression of calm and thoughtfully structured elegance. Travelers enjoy an ideal setting to read, converse, or simply watch the landscapes pass by in a serene and deeply soothing ambiance.

Open-sky panoramas

On the exterior decks of Viking Hervor, the circular promenade, lounge corners, and comfortable deckchairs allow guests to fully experience the navigation. The walking track encircles the entire ship, a detail typical of the Longships, while the putting green and shaded areas create a relaxed and pleasantly unhurried atmosphere. The Sun Deck thus becomes a privileged place to observe the river, breathe the breeze, and enjoy uninterrupted panoramic views in total and peaceful tranquility.

Nordic-inspired flavors with the Viking Hervor

Fresh and local creations

Aboard the Viking Hervor, The Restaurant offers refined menus inspired by the regions traveled, Moselle wines, Hungarian specialties, or German recipes. The Aquavit Terrace, signature of the Longship fleet, provides an open-air culinary experience in a bright setting facing the river. Local ingredients and elegant presentation reflect the simple and natural spirit of Scandinavian cuisine while highlighting the unmistakable freshness of the products used.

Delicacies of European rivers

The menus on the Viking Hervor change according to the itinerary: fresh fish from the Rhine, Austrian pastries, spicy Eastern European soups, or reimagined French dishes. Themed evenings allow guests to discover the culinary traditions of each country, while terrace dinners create a relaxed and intimate atmosphere. These gastronomic variations enrich the journey and strengthen cultural immersion, offering each evening a new and memorable shade of flavors.

Soft and intimate evenings

The bar of the Viking Hervor hosts musical evenings and elegant moments where dimmed lighting and handcrafted cocktails create a warm ambiance. The panoramic lounge, thanks to its large picture windows, provides an ideal setting to admire the nighttime landscapes. After dinner, travelers enjoy quiet conversations, acoustic concerts, or tastings in a refined atmosphere, perfect for gently concluding the day with calm and beautifully lingering serenity.

Moments of escape between culture and well-being

Encounters along the riverbanks

The Viking Hervor’s itineraries highlight emblematic destinations: Rhine castles, Austrian villages, Dutch markets, and historic districts of the Danube. Each stop offers guided tours led by local experts to discover traditions, monuments, and regional specialties. The experience remains fully immersive, blending culture, nature, and meaningful encounters, and providing privileged contact with the authentic soul of the regions crossed in a gentle, memorable harmony.

Natural light, soft airflow, and open spaces create a soothing environment in which to rejuvenate, refocus, and fully enjoy the slow rhythm of river travel. This gentle, harmonious atmosphere provides an ideal setting for deep restoration and a renewed sense of inner balance.

Nights woven with softness

The calm of the river, the dimmed lighting, and the soft rhythms accompany each moment, creating a serene setting perfect for closing the day. The nights become poetic interludes, marked by silence, softness, and subtle emotions that prolong the magic of the journey in a delicate harmony that gently enriches every experience.
