Who sails where, who each line suits, and every ship in its European fleet.

How to choose

Mass-market lines are the best value and the busiest ships. Premium lines are calmer, with better food. Luxury lines include almost everything and carry a few hundred guests. River ships carry under 200 and dock in the middle of town. Note the language: AIDA and TUI are German-speaking ships.

Still being confirmed
  • Official Europe fleet count from Viking pages = 83 ships (longships + Douro + Elbe + Seine), including ships listed for 2026 and 2027.
  • Viking also sells Rhone/Saone and Bordeaux itineraries on longships historically; not re-verified this session, so not listed per ship.
  • Ships move between rivers; per-ship rivers are the category Viking files each ship under (Longships = Rhine, Main, Danube; Moselle added from itinerary pattern).
  • Wikipedia lists 7-digit IMO-style numbers (e.g. Viking Aegir 8339732) that VesselFinder does not recognise and that contain duplicates (Njord/Odin, Tor/Torgil); ENI numbers from VesselFinder used instead.
  • Douro ships (Portugal flag) show only an MMSI on VesselFinder, no ENI/IMO.
  • Home ports not filled: Viking itineraries start/end in many cities (e.g. Amsterdam, Basel, Budapest, Passau, Nuremberg, Paris, Porto); not verified per ship.
  • Gross tonnage for 2025-2027 newbuilds not published.

  • nicko also sells CroisiEurope ships Cyrano de Bergerac and La Belle de Cadix, listed under CroisiEurope, not duplicated here.
  • nicko also has an ocean ship (Vasco da Gama) and ships in Egypt, Mekong, China and the US, left out.
  • Home ports taken from itinerary start cities shown on ship pages.
  • Generic names (Celina, Bolero, Maxima, Viktoria, Belvedere) mean ENI matches rely on length; several not matched.
