Viking has taken delivery of its newest river ship, the Viking Tonle, for exclusive sailings on Southeast Asia’s Mekong River.
The ship, built for the 15-day Magnificent Mekong itinerary, joins sister ship Viking Saigon, hosting 80 guests in 40 outside staterooms with Scandinavian design, light-filled public areas and floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors with verandas or French balconies.
The three-deck ships include a pool, spa, fitness centre and open-air Sky Bar on the Upper Deck. Viking focuses on long-term growth, expecting delivery of 25 additional river ships by 2028 and 10 additional ocean ships by 2031, leading to 112 river ships and 23 ocean and expedition ships.
Torstein Hagen shared: “Our guests are thinking people who value learning through travel, and the rich history and traditions of Vietnam and Cambodia make this region especially compelling. We are pleased that the addition of the Viking Tonle to our fleet allows us to welcome even more curious travelers to the Mekong River and the cultural treasures of Southeast Asia.”
