Description
The Viking Nerthus is a river ship belonging to the Viking Longships class, specifically designed to sail along the Seine and dock at an exclusive location in the heart of Paris, just steps from the Eiffel Tower. Measuring approximately 125 metres in length, it can accommodate up to 168 guests in 84 outside staterooms with river views, offering an intimate and comfortable cruising experience amid the landmarks of the French capital and the landscapes of Normandy. Its name pays tribute to Nerthus, an ancient Germanic and Scandinavian deity associated with fertility and the Earth, often identified with Mother Earth and depicted riding in a chariot drawn by cows.
