Description

Viking Honir is a river ship in the Viking Longships class, which entered service in 2025 and is designed to accommodate up to 190 guests in 95 outside staterooms. Its name honors Hönir, a deity in Norse mythology associated with wisdom and eloquence who, according to myth, played a role in the creation of humanity. On board, contemporary Scandinavian design is characterized by bright interiors, clean lines, and understated elegance. The panoramic restaurant, Lounge & Bar, and Aquavit Terrace, with its indoor and outdoor seating at the bow, offer ideal places to relax and admire the scenery. The Sun Deck features 360-degree views, a shaded area, a putting green, and a walking path. Accommodation options include standard staterooms, French balcony staterooms, veranda staterooms, and suites, including the Explorer Suites with spacious wraparound private balconies. The ship also offers a library and an onboard shop. Its hybrid engines help reduce vibrations, ensuring a more comfortable sailing experience.
