Yes. Viking Njord still sails for Viking River Cruises, mainly on the Danube, under the Swiss flag and under her original name.

How many guests does Viking Njord carry?

Viking Njord carries one hundred and ninety guests in ninety-five outside staterooms, with fifty-three crew.

What is the difference between a French balcony and a veranda?

A French balcony is a sliding glass door with no terrace: it opens onto a railing, with no room to sit. A veranda has a real balcony with seating.

Can Viking Njord sail the Elbe or the Douro?

No. At one hundred and thirty-five metres, Viking Njord exceeds the lock dimensions of the Elbe and the Douro. Those rivers are served by shorter ships.

Viking Njord: a Danube longship for 190 guests in five categories

Viking Njord is in active service with Viking River Cruises. Delivered in 2012 by the Neptun Werft yard in Rostock, she still carries her original name and sails under the Swiss flag.

The ship

One hundred and thirty-five metres long, eleven metres forty-five wide, drawing two metres, around three thousand one hundred and forty gross tons. Four decks, three of them with staterooms. One hundred and ninety guests and fifty-three crew, roughly one crew member for every three and a half guests.

Propulsion is diesel-electric hybrid, two Caterpillar engines. On a river ship the practical consequence is acoustic: less vibration carried into the hull at night, when the ship works upriver while guests sleep.

The five stateroom categories

Twenty-five standard, twenty-two French balcony, thirty-nine veranda, seven veranda suites and two Explorer suites. All are outside.

A French balcony is a sliding glass door with no terrace: you open it, you look, you do not step out. A veranda gives you a real small balcony. On paper the price gap looks slim, and in spring and autumn it matters a great deal, when the weather decides whether sitting outside is worth it.

Where she sails

Mainly the Danube, with Rhine and Main assignments depending on the season. The most frequent departures leave from Budapest, Passau and Nuremberg.

What a longship cannot do

No one-hundred-and-thirty-five-metre ship goes up the Elbe, the upper Moselle or the Douro. Those rivers have their own locks and their own shorter ships. If your plan involves one of them, an advisor will point you to the right series rather than to this one. Call 1-866-628-6241.
