Viking River Cruises boasts the most extensive fleet of river cruises vessels, and we are proud to offer you the best ships in each region where we travel.
Viking Skaga is one of four ships designed to navigate the Seine and dock directly in the heart of Paris, just a 10-minute jaunt from the Eiffel Tower. A modified version of Viking's award-winning Viking Longships, Viking Skaga carries just 168 passengers instead of the usual complement of 190 found on the slightly larger Longships.
Astride her horse, the Valkyrie Skaga flew into battle to determine which soldiers would live and which would die, escorting the dead to Valhalla, the kingdom of the gods. There, the warriors prepared to fight in the ultimate battle of Ragnarok, which would all but destroy the mythological realm so it could flourish again.
The award-winning Viking Longships showcase innovative engineering, streamlined design, and elegance for the most comfortable European river cruise experience.
