Viking has officially welcomed the Viking Haki, its newest Longship-class river ship. With capacity for 190 guests, the vessel will join the company’s sister ships on itineraries along the Rhine, Main and Danube rivers.
The Viking Haki was recently named during a ceremony held in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The vessel features 95 staterooms and interiors inspired by Scandinavian design, a hallmark of Viking’s fleet.
“Our river journeys offer an ideal way to explore Europe, bringing guests closer to the history, culture and traditions of the destinations they visit,” says Leah Talactac, President and CEO of Viking. “We are pleased to welcome the elegant Haki to our fleet and offer even more guests the opportunity to discover these destinations with the company’s comfort,” she adds.
Itineraries along European rivers
The new ship will be used on various company itineraries across Europe. These include:
- Rhine Getaway;
- Grand European Tour;
- Danube Waltz;
- Tulips & Windmills;
- Special Christmas market itineraries.
The voyages combine river cruising with visits to historic cities, villages and cultural destinations along the three European rivers.
