Our Viking Longships are a lovely place to call home while exploring the waterways of Europe.
This is our veranda stateroom, which has all you need really.
A fantastic, comfortable, fluffy bed, great flat-screen TV with live channels and on-demand enrichment programming, lots of storage space, a hairdryer, important for most of us, soft-closing drawers of course, a little fridge in case you buy something along your journey that you might want to store, and we have a very easy-to-use safe, as well as even more storage space here, as well as under the bed.
And we have lots of great hanging closet space from floor to ceiling.
In the bathroom, there are glass doors, plush towels, the most intuitive fixtures, and amenities.
Other stateroom options include the standard stateroom and the French balcony stateroom.
Then of course, there are the suites, the inviting two-room suite, and the special suites located aft.
We have two explorer suites on our Longship series, and it can't get very much better than this.
The Explorer Suite includes a separate bedroom and a wraparound deck, home to even more spectacular views.
Come enjoy the Viking Longships and explore Europe with us in comfort.
