Viking has taken delivery of the Viking Rota, its newest Viking Longship, named after a Valkyrie and warrior maiden from Norse mythology.

The 190-guest ship will sail itineraries on the Rhine, Main and Danube rivers, including “Rhine Getaway,” “Grand European Tour,” “Danube Waltz,” “Tulips & Windmills,” “Christmas on the Rhine” and “Danube Christmas Delights.”

“The delivery of the Viking Rota marks another milestone for our award-winning river fleet,” said Leah Talactac, president and chief executive officer of Viking.

“As interest in river travel continues to grow, we remain focused on creating more opportunities for curious travelers to explore the world in Viking comfort. We look forward to welcoming guests on board this elegant new river vessel.”

Like the Dagur, its sister ship delivered in late July, the Rota boasts 95 staterooms.

Based on Viking’s committed orderbook, the company expects to take delivery of 18 additional river ships by 2028, 11 additional ocean ships by 2032 and two additional expedition ships by 2031.

This will bring Viking’s river fleet to 114 ships in 2028, paired with 28 ocean and expedition ships in 2032.
