Viking Longship Mimir

The Viking Longship Mimir is more than just a river cruise vessel—it's a floating testament to the rich history and culture of the Viking people, offering a blend of luxury, comfort, and immersive experiences that bring the ancient world to life as you glide through the heart of Europe. Named after Mimir, a figure in Norse mythology renowned for his wisdom and knowledge, the ship embodies the spirit of exploration and discovery that was central to the Viking way of life.

Viking Cruises, a company known for its cultural enrichment and carefully curated travel experiences, designed the Longship Mimir with both tradition and modern comfort in mind. While the ship draws inspiration from the iconic Viking longships—sleek, fast vessels that were used by the Vikings for trade, exploration, and warfare—the Longship Mimir is a masterpiece of contemporary Scandinavian design.

With its clean lines, light-filled spaces, and understated elegance, the ship provides an atmosphere of relaxed sophistication. The interiors are a nod to the minimalist aesthetic of Scandinavian design, featuring natural materials like wood and stone, as well as a calming color palette of soft neutrals and warm tones.

The Viking Longship Mimir cruises along some of Europe’s most storied rivers, including the Rhine, Main, and Danube. These waterways have been vital arteries of commerce and culture for centuries, and a journey along them offers a deep dive into the history, architecture, and landscapes of the regions.

Guests on the Longship Mimir can expect to visit iconic cities like Amsterdam, Cologne, Vienna, and Budapest. Each port of call presents opportunities to explore world-class museums, medieval castles, and charming villages, often with guided tours led by knowledgeable local experts.

Dining on board is a highlight of the journey, with menus that feature regional specialties made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Whether dining in the main restaurant, which offers panoramic views, or enjoying a more casual meal at the Aquavit Terrace, guests can savor the flavors of the regions they are exploring.

The onboard enrichment programs are another standout feature, with lectures, performances, and demonstrations that bring the history and culture of the Viking Age to life. Whether it’s a talk on Norse mythology, a demonstration of traditional Viking crafts, or a classical music concert, there is always something to engage the curious traveler.
