Viking Longship Vidar
Aboard the Viking Longship Vidar - The Ultimate River Cruise Experience
Viking's Longship series is renowned for its award-winning vessels, and Vidar is no exception. Constructed in 2015, this eco-friendly hybrid engine yacht ensures a smoother sailing experience with fewer vibrations than older boats, ideal for its popular Rhine Getaway/Amsterdam to Basel, Switzerland itinerary. Its narrow shape and minimalist decor is perfect for the river's parameters, and the ship's amenities are limited, with no gym or spa. Vidar's onboard activity centers around its port excursions, and the itinerary is best suited to the adventurous traveler seeking to experience medieval and World War II history. A complimentary shore excursion is provided in each port, and wine and beer is available at lunch and dinner. The staff are highly personable and will remember your name by the end of embarkation. All in all, Vidar is perfect for a unique and memorable journey.
