Cruise Destination

Aboard the Viking Longship Gefjon, you’ll learn about the local cultures you’ll be visiting, and even a little of the local language. Live music is on tap every night at the Observation Lounge and Bar, where you can meet new friends and enjoy beer, wine, and spirits (complimentary for lunch and dinner).
Enjoy exquisite meals featuring regional cuisine in the Viking Longship Gefjon, and delight in casual al fresco dining on the Aquavit Terrace. Gather with friends aboard the sun deck for amazing views and to see where she’ll sail next.
