The Viking Longships Mani favors clean lines, natural materials, and the clarity of glass and wood.

The essence of Scandinavian comfort

Suites of clarity

The cabins of the Viking Longships Mani are true cocoons of intimacy and gentle light. Spacious and perfectly designed, they offer an unobstructed view of the river landscapes thanks to wide picture windows or a private balcony. Soft tones, natural textures, and premium bedding create an atmosphere of deep well-being. Each suite, equipped with an elegant bathroom and a comfortable lounge area, embodies the union of Scandinavian design and refined contemporary comfort.

Hearts of connection

The main lounge, bathed in bright light, invites passengers of the Viking Longships Mani to gather in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The Aquavit Lounge bar and the library become spaces for meaningful exchange, while the panoramic view brings everyone closer to the river. Refined furniture, Nordic fabrics, and touches of clear shimmering glass express the balance between intimacy and conviviality, offering an ideal setting to share a drink, listen to music, or contemplate the scenery.

Peaceful horizon

On the Sun Deck, travelers let themselves be carried by the soft murmur of the Rhine. The putting green, loungers, and herb garden of the Viking Longships Mani create a serene haven of relaxation.
