Viking Prestige: the Danube ship delivered before the longships

Viking Prestige is a one-hundred-and-thirty-five-metre river ship delivered in 2011 by the Neptun Werft yard in Rostock, hull number S.517, christened in Amsterdam on 11 May of that year. She is still owned by Viking River Cruises AG of Basel, and her transponder still places her on Europe's inland waterways.

She is not a longship, and the distinction matters

This page's permalink contains the word longship, but Viking Prestige belongs to the previous generation, the one that began with Viking Legend in 2009. The two ships are sisters. They share the longship length and a different interior layout, with a central corridor and a cabin mix weighted towards French balconies.

Ninety-seven to ninety-nine staterooms depending on the source, for one hundred and eighty-eight to one hundred and ninety guests: the yard's documentation and the ship databases do not agree exactly, and we would rather give the range than a falsely precise figure.

The Danube, between Budapest and Passau

This is the route she was assigned for most of her career, the seven-day Danube Waltz through Germany, Austria, Slovakia and Hungary.

Her current programme

Viking does not publish a calendar ship by ship, and Viking Prestige does not appear in the programmes released for the open seasons. She has been neither sold nor renamed: her name, her European vessel number and her owner are unchanged.

So if you are looking for this particular ship, the question to ask is her assignment for the year, and an advisor can check it with the line. If you are looking for a Danube itinerary instead, the choice is wide and another ship will serve. Call 1-866-628-6241.
