Viking Ingvar: the ship's exact name, and why it is no longer sold

First, the detail that explains why this ship is so hard to trace: she is named Viking Ingvar, with a v. The spelling Inguar circulates in several catalogues, ours included, and it matches no ship on any register.

Viking Ingvar exists. She lies at the Soliony quay on the Neva in St Petersburg, where she was photographed as late as August 2026, alongside her sisters Viking Truvor and Viking Akun. What ended was the programme: Viking ceased all its Russian operations on 1 March 2022.

The ship

Her original name was Narkom Pakhomov. She left the Elbewerften yard at Boizenburg on 15 June 1990, a Dmitriy Furmanov type, and carried the name Viking Pakhomov before becoming Viking Ingvar in 2012. One isolated source gives 1987 as the build year; two others agree on 1990.

One hundred and twenty-nine metres by seventeen, five decks with cabins on three. One hundred and four cabins for two hundred and ten guests: four suites, sixty-seven with balconies, the rest with fixed portholes. Last refurbished in 2013.

Ingvar, another Varangian name

Ingvar is the Scandinavian form of Igor, prince of Kiev in the tenth century. Viking's whole Russian fleet carried names from that line, which said something true about the Volga: it was the Scandinavian traders' road to Constantinople long before it was a cruise route.

Today

The hull belongs to the North-Western Shipping Company. No source documents a sale, a renaming or a scrapping.
