Viking Longship Radgrid

The Viking Longship Radgrid offers an extraordinary blend of historical reverence and modern luxury, perfect for travelers seeking a unique river cruise experience. As part of Viking River Cruises' fleet, the Radgrid embodies the spirit of Viking exploration while providing all the comforts and amenities that contemporary travelers expect.

The Radgrid is one of the many vessels named after figures and elements from Norse mythology, in this case, Radgrid is a Valkyrie in Norse mythology, one of the female warriors serving Odin. The longship design is a nod to the seafaring traditions of the Vikings, who were renowned for their expertly crafted ships that could navigate both the open sea and shallow rivers.

While the Radgrid is not a replica of a traditional Viking longship, its sleek design and elegant lines evoke the spirit of those historic vessels. The longships were known for their speed, agility, and ability to traverse the rivers and seas of Europe, enabling the Vikings to explore vast territories. Today, the Radgrid carries on this legacy, albeit in a much more luxurious manner, cruising through some of Europe’s most picturesque rivers.
