Viking welcomed seven new ships to its river fleet with a naming ceremony in Basel on March 19.
Six of the new ships are Viking’s signature Longships — the Viking Einar, Sigrun, Sigyn, Tir, Ullur and Vali — which will sail the Rhine, Main and Danube rivers. The seventh, the Helmgring, will be its fourth on the Douro in Portugal.
The ceremony connected new ships in four cities by satellite to the main event in Basel. All four ships were officially named by their godmothers — all long-time employees of the company — and christened with a bottle Gammel Opland aquavit.
