The Viking Longships: Best New River Ship, “The first six of Viking’s revolutionary Longships debuted in 2012, offering an airy ambience with plenty of big-ship amenities. Verandas are full-sized. Suites, mirroring hotel accommodations, each offer two rooms. The Aquavit Terrace, an indoor-outdoor casual eatery, is a dedicated alternative restaurant. And the ships are state-of-the-art when it comes to engineering, with hybrid engines, solar panels and even an organic herb garden.” – Cruise Critic editors
