Overview
The Viking Eir is another famed longship, and she accommodates up to 190 guests at full capacity. The ship exemplifies Viking River Cruises’ elegant and timeless design.
Onboard, you’ll find two Explorer Suites with wraparound verandas, a sun deck, observation lounge, library, and more.
The Viking Eir’s beauty is matched by her wit, as the ship features several forward-thinking “green” design elements, including hybrid engines, solar panels, and an onboard herb garden.
The Viking Eir also features the ever-popular Aquavit Terrace, which can transform between an indoor and outdoor dining venue based on the weather.

Viking Eir
Since I have come home two days ago I have praised the cruise that we had with Viking. I would love to take another trip with them. On second thought...filling this form out is not fun. I have put in the month three times and it keeps asking for it again.
Pros: So many pros it is hard to list the. The best by far is customer service with an elderly father.
Cons: To be honest none. They were amazing and very caring.

Viking Eir
Absolutely best trip ever! The staff are over the top when it comes to providing service and anticipating your needs. It is great to wake up to a new port every day and not have to pack/unpack. I highly recommend Viking for anyone planning a River Cruise.
Pros: Unpack one time - treated like royalty
Cons: None come to mind
