Itineraries of the Viking Longships Mandalay

Price and Availability Notice
Prices displayed are provided for informational purposes only. They reflect the rates in effect at the time of their most recent update and are shown in Canadian dollars, per person, based on double occupancy, unless otherwise specified.

Supplier rates, exchange rates, taxes and fees, room or cabin categories, and promotions are subject to change at any time. The applicable price is the one confirmed by a travel advisor at the time of booking, subject to availability. Only the confirmed price shall be considered valid.

It is the traveler's responsibility to confirm the price, inclusions, and applicable terms and conditions before making a reservation. While every effort is made to keep our content up to date, transmission, display, or pricing errors may occur. In such cases, the correct price will be communicated to the traveler before any booking is confirmed. Certain terms, restrictions, and exclusions may apply.

    Viking Mandalay: out of the fleet, and today's Asian programme

    Three concordant checks as at 25 August 2026: no departures in our catalogue, absence from the roster Viking publishes, absence from the master list verified against the company's own pages.

    What the name indicates, and where it stops

    Mandalay is a city in Burma on the Irrawaddy. The name therefore places this ship far from Europe, and that is all it establishes with certainty. We do not reconstruct the hull's history: none of our sources sets it out, and a plausible but false chronology would be worse than silence.

    Four ships in Asia today

    The master list, verified ship by ship, records four Viking units in Asia. They carry 80 guests to 54 or 58 crew, or one crew member for every 1.38 to 1.48 guests.

    That figure is worth pausing on. A European Longship carries one crew member for every 3.58 guests. The Asian ships therefore offer more than twice the staff per traveller — a gap that changes the nature of the trip entirely, and that no brochure highlights because it does not reduce to a slogan.

    Two more ships are announced for Asia: Brahmaputra for late 2027 and Ganges for 2028. Both already appear on the company's fleet page, which explains why a quick count easily overstates the number of ships in service.

    Our catalogue stops at Europe

    Neither Asia nor Egypt appears in it today. That is a known gap, put to our data supplier. In North America, Viking Mississippi offers 135 departures; in Europe, Viking Vilhjalm has 189 on the Danube and Viking Heimdal 206 on the Rhône.

    Our Viking River Cruises advisors confirm in writing the exact fare, the inclusions 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

    No. Three concordant checks on 25 August 2026 show her absent: no departures with us, absence from the Viking roster, absence from the master list.
    It is a city in Burma on the Irrawaddy. The name places this ship far from Europe, and that is all it establishes with certainty.
    Because none of our sources establishes it. A plausible but false chronology would be worse than silence: it would then be copied elsewhere.
    Four, according to the master list verified ship by ship. They carry 80 guests to 54 or 58 crew.
    One crew member for every 1.38 to 1.48 guests. A European Longship carries one for every 3.58: less than half the staff per traveller.
    Because it does not reduce to a slogan. It nonetheless changes the nature of the trip entirely, and it is the kind of figure that deserves explaining rather than displaying.
    Two: Brahmaputra for late 2027 and Ganges for 2028. Both already appear on the company's fleet page.
    Because they appear on the fleet page alongside ships in service. A quick count therefore easily overstates the number.
    Not today. Our catalogue covers Europe and Viking Mississippi. That is a known gap, put to our data supplier.
    Viking Mississippi, with 135 departures between New Orleans and Memphis. She is the only Viking ship reached without a transatlantic flight.
    Seventy pages, including Viking Vilhjalm with 189 departures on the Danube and Viking Heimdal with 206 on the Rhône.
    No. We have no departures to sell on her and the line no longer lists her in its published fleet.
    Because the name still circulates. A clear answer beats an error page, and it lets us explain in passing what the line operates today.
    Through three independent instruments: departures in our own catalogue, the roster the line publishes, and a master list verified ship by ship.
    In writing, before booking. AquaTerra Travels follows Quebec consumer protection rules and participates in the compensation fund for travel agency customers.
