Description

Viking Torgil, built-in 2014, has a length of approximately 80 meters and can accommodate up to 106 passengers in its 53 comfortable cabins. The ship features 4 decks, housing the restaurant with panoramic windows, the bar & lounge, a shop, and the Aquavit Terrace. On the Sun Deck, there is a shaded seating area, a pool, and a putting green.
The name derives from mythology; Torgil, presumed son of the Danish king Harald, sailed west to Bretland (Wales and Western England), Portugal, and Ireland. According to Viking history, he and his brother Frode were the first Norsemen to conquer Dublin, where Torgil ruled as king for many years.
