NEW SHIPS, ANCIENT RIVER

Berlin, Prague, Dresden, Meissen, Wittenberg, Saxon Switzerland - near the banks of the River Elbe are some of Europe’s most exciting cities and enchanting towns. This historic river flows through timeless landscapes and the most spectacular scenery in Germany and the Czech Republic.

From 2016, you can sail on our Elegant Elbe river cruise on one of our two stunning new ships, Viking Beyla and Viking Astrild.

With their chic Scandinavian design, these Viking Longship-inspired ships have customised hulls and engines especially built to navigate the Elbe. Home to less than 100 guests, they have fewer staterooms than the Viking Longships, yet boast many of the same design features, including the stylish lounge and restaurant, and the Aquavit Terrace for alfresco dining and relaxation.
