Viking Embla: 87 departures, and what to know about mobility on board

36 departures from Regensburg to Budapest, 35 the reverse, 11 from Passau to Budapest, measured on 25 August 2026, for 87 in total. Like Viking Aegir, she touches both German gateways, but on a lighter calendar: 87 departures against 99.

River ships and reduced mobility: the truth

This is the point on which a river ship falls behind an ocean ship, and it is better known before booking than at the gangway.

A Longship has a lift, but it does not serve every level: the lower deck, where the 25 Standard staterooms sit, and the sun deck are reached by stairs. The boarding gangway tilts according to the river level, which varies by several metres from one week to the next. And when two or three ships lie alongside each other at Melk or Dürnstein, you cross the neighbours' lounge to reach land.

None of this is disqualifying. But a client who walks with difficulty, uses a cane, or cannot manage a flight of stairs should raise it with their advisor before choosing a stateroom and an itinerary, because some ports and some categories will suit and others will not. Included excursions almost always involve walking on cobbles.

The hull: a Longship, 190 berths

135 metres, 190 guests, 53 crew, 95 staterooms: 25 Standard, 22 French Balcony, 39 Veranda, 7 Veranda Suites and 2 Explorer Suites. One crew member for every 3.58 guests, the Longship-class ratio.

Embla, the first woman

In the Völuspá, Odin and his brothers find two tree trunks washed up on a shore, without breath or fate. They give them life: Ask, drawn from the ash, and Embla, drawn from the elm. It is the Norse account of humanity's creation, and it begins with driftwood.

For a fuller calendar, Viking Var offers 163 departures from Regensburg and Viking Bragi 146 from Passau.

Getting there from Montreal

One connection to Munich or Budapest, for 13 to 15 hours door to door, then one to one and a half hours by road depending on the embarkation city.

Booking from Quebec

From a Quebec address, Viking's reservations site does not answer: it redirects to a page inviting travellers to contact an agent. On this line the agency is not a convenience, it is the route. You can check that yourself in thirty seconds.

Our Viking River Cruises advisors confirm in writing the exact fare, what is included, what is not, and the applicable conditions before any booking, in line with Quebec consumer protection rules and participation in the compensation fund for travel agency customers.

Frequently Asked Questions

87, measured on 25 August 2026: 36 from Regensburg to Budapest, 35 the reverse and 11 from Passau to Budapest.
Yes, Regensburg and Passau, like Viking Aegir. Her calendar is lighter, though: 87 departures against 99.
Yes, but it does not serve every level. The lower deck, where the 25 Standard staterooms sit, and the sun deck are reached by stairs.
It depends on the person, the stateroom and the itinerary. The gangway tilts with the river level, some decks have no lift, and included excursions almost always involve walking on cobbles. It should be raised with an advisor before booking.
Because at busy calls such as Melk or Dürnstein, two or three ships can lie alongside each other. You then pass through the neighbour's lounge to reach land.
