Norse Heritage

An alleged son of the Danish King Harald, Torgil sailed westward to Bretland (Wales and western England), Portugal and Ireland. According to Viking history, he and his brother Frode were the first Northmen to conquer Dublin. By establishing strongholds and trading centers all around the island, he helped transform Ireland into a vibrant mercantile economy with trade contacts all over Europe. While it is said that someone poisoned Frode, Torgil survived to be king of Dublin for many years, until he was ultimately deceived by the Irish and slain in battle.

The Torgil floats well

Viking is maturing quickly

THE Douro valley cruise IN PORTUGAL

| THE DOURO VALLEY PORTUGAL
THIS IS OUR 4TH CRUISE WITH VIKING ALL RESERVED THROUGH YOUR AGENCY we are very fond of ViKING and your agency and we intend to continue with both and recommend YOU to friend and families. However we had a somewhat bad experience on the first day of the cruise when we chose for dinner veal which contained small pieces of porc which were not mentioned in the Menu.we ate for the first time of our life ham which have shocked us as these did not figure as an ingredient in the menu. we precisely stated at the entrance of the cruise that we are prohibited from eating porc products.This incident saddened us

Douro River Cruise

| Lisbon, Porto and UNESCO sites along Douro River
We had a great time for the 10 day river cruise. We enjoyed good weather, excellent services and food on board with friendly and well trained staff, clean room and strict Covid-19 protocol to protect passengers’ health and safety. We truly recommend this cruise to others.
