VIKING has announced the launch of four new “Viking Seine Ships” which will be dedicated to the line’s eight-day Paris & The Heart of Normandy itinerary.
The four 135m-long Seine ships will feature the same interior design, staterooms and common areas as the company’s Viking Longships, but will be equipped with customised hulls and engines specifically built to navigate the Seine River.
The smaller 168-guest vessels will take passengers into the heart of Paris, docking at Port de Grenelle (pictured) near the iconic Eiffel Tower.
“At Viking we pride ourselves on offering a cruise experience that lets the destinations we visit be the star of the show,” said Viking MD Australia/NZ, Michelle Black.
“Every detail of Viking’s Seine Ships are designed to enhance and enrich the travel experience, so that guests can explore all that makes France so compelling”.
Black said the new fleet would offer full verandahs along with the largest suites and the “most al-fresco dining” on France’s rivers, with the Paris-Paris voyages leading in at $3,495ppts for a range of 2021 travel dates – along with return Economy flights from Australia to Europe from $995 per person.
