Viking welcomes the Viking Rota, the company's newest ship in the Viking Longships® range. With a capacity for 190 passengers, it joins the company's growing fleet of state-of-the-art sister ships and will operate some of Viking's most popular itineraries on the Rhine, Main, and Danube rivers.
“The delivery of the Viking Rota marks another milestone for our award-winning riverboat fleet,” said Leah Talactac, Viking’s president and CEO. “As interest in river travel grows, we remain focused on creating new opportunities for curious travelers to discover the world in Viking comfort. We look forward to welcoming our guests aboard this elegant new riverboat.”.
The Viking Rota
With a capacity for 190 passengers distributed in 95 cabins, the Viking Rota features an elegant Scandinavian design and incorporates some of the innovations that characterize Viking, such as its patented square bow, which allows for three full decks, the Aquavit terrace, an indoor and outdoor space, and the unique asymmetrical distribution of the corridors, which allows for the creation of authentic two-room suites.
The Viking Rota will operate some of the company's most popular itineraries, including Rhine Getaway, Grand European Tour, Danube Waltz, Tulips & Windmills, Christmas on the Rhine and Danube Christmas Delights.
Viking is maintaining its long-term growth plans as part of its strategy to continue leading the experiential travel segment. Based on its confirmed order book, the company expects to receive 18 additional river cruise ships by 2028, 11 new ocean-going ships by 2032, and two new expedition ships by 2031.
With these additions, Viking will have 114 river ships in 2028 and 28 ocean and expedition ships in 2032.
