age of Viking longships

[Krazy4Kruisin']

How can I find out how old a ship is on Viking? I've looked in their written brochure and on their website, and can't find anything. Other cruise lines list the age on their website.

 

Thanks,

They are all fairly new, probably 5 yrs old or younger I would guess. Viking has been on a shipbuilding spree with longships.

Viking river cruise catalog I have says longships built between 2012 and 2017 ....

 

445 ft, crew 50, guests 190, 95 guest rooms

The German list of river cruise ships on wikipedia is quite comprehensive. In addition to the longships - as Capt_BJ has said 2012 to 2017 - you can look up the older ships if you are interested: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_von_Flusskreuzfahrtschiffen

 

age is given as Bj (Baujahr - year of construction) next to the photos.

The longships are all from 2012 onward. I would not worry about age from one to another as they are as identical as possible. Just sailed on 2 of them, Baldur and Magni due to a ship swap and other than the picture of the relevant Norse god on the wall you couldn't have told them apart. Their commonality is what allow ship swapping to work so well for Viking when there are water level issues.
