Take a Journey Through Norway on a Viking Longship Jarl River Cruise

Viking Jarl and her sister Longships bring a new level of river hospitality with their sleek, Scandinavian aesthetics. Step onboard and be welcomed by the bright and airy atrium with its marble panels, terrazzo floor, and wood-and-glass staircase. The vessels share the same lead designer as Seabourn's Odyssey class, Norwegian firm Yran & Storbraaten. Jarl offers a range of features unique to European river cruising, including an Aquavit Terrace and seven true suites with separate living and sleeping rooms. Additionally, Viking has maximised the available space by blunting the traditional pointy-nosed bow and placing interior corridors off centre. The 'green' advances are also impressive, including hybrid diesel-electric engines which burn less fuel and produce 20 percent fewer emissions. There are even solar panels on the sun deck to help power the engines, plus a chef's organic garden. As you sail past UNESCO World Heritage sites, take in the history-rich vistas of castles, medieval towns and more, all in a slow and smooth ride. Viking Jarl and Longships provide a truly memorable experience for river cruisers.
