Embark on an unforgettable river cruise journey with the Viking Baldur, a distinguished vessel sailing Viking River Cruises’ most sought-after itineraries. The ship offers an unparalleled river cruise experience, with breathtaking views from every window and a plethora of amenities for guests to enjoy.
The Viking Baldur is a spacious ship, boasting 95 staterooms and accommodating 190 passengers, all catered to by a dedicated crew of 50 members. While the ship doesn’t feature a gym, pool, whirlpool, or spa, guests can avail themselves of health and spa facilities at luxury hotels along the Baldur’s itinerary route.
One of the standout features of the Viking Longships, the Aquavit Terrace, is a highlight on the Viking Baldur. This versatile space can transition from an outdoor to an indoor setting depending on the weather, offering an al fresco dining experience complemented by stunning 270-degree views.
The ship offers a variety of stateroom types, all providing exceptional views. The Explorer Suite, for instance, features a separate living room, a queen or king bed, a large bathroom with a rain shower, and a wraparound veranda terrace that showcases the view from the back of the ship. With their generous square footage, Baldur’s suites offer a comfortable and impressive private oasis for discerning guests.
The Viking Baldur carries a rich historical legacy in its name. Named after Baldur from Norse mythology – the god of light, love, and happiness – the ship embodies the qualities of its namesake. In Old Norse, Baldur (or Balder) translates to “prince”. The god Baldur, son of Frigg and Odin, adds a touch of mythology and intrigue to the Viking Baldur’s identity.
