Viking Sun – Exploring The Treasures Of The Rhine

Built in 2004, Viking Sun is specially designed for sailing on the Rhine. Oozing comfort and elegance, the Viking ship accommodates 198 guests. On board, you can look forward to the most amazing views of the passing scenery; a river cruise on this ship truly offers an amazing journey from start to finish.

A floating hotel, on board the Viking Sun you’ll find ultra-comfy hotel-style beds, French balconies and large picture windows in staterooms. Another favourite feature is the spacious sundeck – a great place to sit whilst you blissfully sail from one place to another.

The observation deck and restaurant feature huge panoramic windows – again, your view of the outside world is never compromised. In addition, the ship’s lobby atrium has a seating area with observation windows as well. The stunning views are always at the forefront of Viking River Cruises’ mind.
