VESSEL REVIEW | Viking Egdir & Viking Gymir – Hybrid-powered newbuilds for Viking’s European river cruises

German shipbuilder Neptun Werft recently handed over two new vessels to Viking River Cruises of Basel, Switzerland. The vessels have been named Viking Egdir and Viking Gymir after two notable figures in Norse mythology.

Whereas the other long riverboats in the Viking fleet each feature all-diesel propulsion encompassing the main engines and the generators, Viking Egdir and Viking Gymir are each equipped with a hybrid propulsion system consisting of three diesel engines and a large-capacity battery pack. However, like their diesel-powered sisters, the newbuilds have been fitted with roof-mounted solar panels for supplying additional electrical power.

The new riverboats each have an LOA of 135 metres, a beam of 11.5 metres, a draught of 1.8 metres, and a gross tonnage of 3,140. The diesel-electric propulsion delivers a speed of 15 knots.

The sisters each come with 95 staterooms in eight different classes across three decks to accommodate a total of 190 guests in addition to the 50-strong crew. On deck three are seven veranda suites and two large owner’s suites with wrap-around balconies located at the stern so that guests are provided with 270-degree views of the surroundings. The remaining accommodation options include 37 balcony staterooms, 20 French balcony staterooms with floor-to-ceiling glass doors/windows, and 25 standard staterooms with non-opening porthole windows.

The amenities on each ship include an observation lounge with floor-to-ceiling glass doors located at the bow, a 360-degree view sun deck with bar and sunbathing area, restaurants, a live entertainment venue, a two-deck atrium with lobby and 24-hour front desk, gift shops, an herb garden, and deck facilities where guests can play such games as miniature golf, shuffleboard, and giant outdoor chess. Each vessel also has a lecture area and an onboard library with a wide selection of books on history, culture, and other related subjects in line with Viking’s aim of being the “The Thinking Person’s Cruise Line” with the focus on educating rather than entertaining guests during each voyage.

Access between the four decks including the sun deck is via forward, midships, and aft stairways. A passenger lift has also been fitted, though it is available only for serving decks two and three. All interior spaces also have wi-fi connectivity.

Viking Egdir and Viking Gymir , the final two additions to Viking’s 65-ship river cruise fleet, will commence operational sailings within this year under the Swiss flag. The vessels’ initial voyages will be eight-day Rhine River itineraries between Amsterdam and Basel. Future sailings will also encompass the Main and Danube Rivers and will include Austria, Germany, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia, and Slovakia.

Viking Gymir River Cruise: An Unforgettable Adventure Awaits

Viking Longship Gymir is set to join the fleet in 2022 and brings with it a mysterious name that has confusing origins in Norse mythology. Gymir, also known as Aegir, means 'protector' or 'engulfer' and is a fitting name for a Viking ship. On board, guests aged 55-70 will be treated to inclusive European river cruises with 190 passengers enjoying cultural experiences and relaxation. Excursions vary from day to day, with guests being able to explore the local city on foot or by motorcoach, as well as exclusive access to events and food and drink tastings. All meals are served in the Restaurant on Deck 2, while the Aquavit Terrace on Deck 3 offers a lighter option and a tasting menu in the evenings. Accommodation is available in the form of 95 staterooms, including 2 Explorer Suites, 7 Verandah Suites and 39 Verandah Staterooms. Passengers can enjoy all the comforts of home, with added perks in the suites such as laundry service, early check-in, welcome champagne and binoculars. The sundeck is a great place to relax, with outdoor seating, a walking track and outdoor games. Entertainment is aplenty, with a keyboardist providing background music, local entertainers joining guests on board, game nights and dancing.

Viking Gymir

Why cruise on this ship.

Gymir is a wealthy Jötunn (a race of giants in Norse mythology) who, by some accounts, is said to be the same mythological figure as Aegir, the giant god of the sea.

Value for Money

Delivers unparalleled experiences without compromising on affordability

Understand why that Value For Money

Viking is the largest river cruise line operators in the world, with a fleet of 76 ships running sailings across four continents on an army of award-winning ships. The river arm of Viking is just one of Viking's cruise options, the super-premium Norwegian ocean cruise line known for its superlative cruise experience, small ships with Scandi-chic interiors and fantastic destination and cultural enrichment programme.

On the river, Viking offers cruisers the chance to sail in Europe, Asia, Africa and the US, offering facilities like sundeck swimming pools, relaxing Aquavit terraces and well-stocked libraries. Continually making new additions and expanding, Viking has recently upped its Nile river cruise game with two new ships, and also sails the Mississippi river. The cruise line also champions themed cruises, taking passengers to the likes of the Passion Play at Oberammergau and offering exclusive pre-and post-cruise land tours.
