Our First-Hand Experience – Viking Lofn

Overview

Viking Lofn was launched back in 2015, and since then, has become renowned for its immaculate Scandinavian look and welcomed calm atmosphere on board! Hosting around 930 guests, the ship has that perfect balance of feeling spacious, yet intimate. Its primary goal is to provide guests with an experience that focuses on culture and local experience, instead of generic itineraries that rush from one place to the next.

Cabins

The cabins on board are designed to be simple, modern and practical. The majority come with private verandas and consist of beautiful light wood interiors. Throughout, you will find smart storage that makes even the smaller rooms feel that extra bit spacious. The highlight, however, is the beds. A real focus has been placed on comfort, and the quality lines emphasise this. For those searching for some extra space and a few added perks, the Suites offer the perfect option. There is also a selection of accessible cabins on board.

Dining

You can expect a dining experience that is relaxed and well thought out. The menus have been designed to highlight fresh, seasonal ingredients with a Nordic twist. What’s more, an open seating format allows you to eat when the time suits you – no need for strict dining hours. If you are seeking something extra special, there are fabulous speciality dining options available – a great option for any celebratory dinner!

Onboard Spaces

The public areas on board have been beautifully designed for relaxation and opportunity to connect – both with other guests and the sea! Across the ship, you will find ample learning opportunities, with dedicated talks and workshops throughout. You’ll also find a stunning spa, sauna and wellness area, alongside a pool and open deck area for sunset views.

Entertainment

If you desire breathtaking, flamboyant shows… then this isn’t the cruise for you. There has purposely been an emphasis made on low-key entertainment, in the form of live music, guest speakers and cultural presentations – helping you connect more with each destination on your journey and complementing your time ashore.

Itineraries

Viking Lofn sails mainly through Northern Europe, the Baltic, and parts of North America. The purpose-built, smaller design allows for unique cruise itineraries, accessing ports that bigger ships simply cannot get to. Not only does this give a more personal feel, but it also allows the opportunity to experience more off-the-beaten-track destinations, creating a truly authentic cruise holiday.

Service

The dedicated crew on board Viking Lofn are renowned for their incredible service. During your time on board, they will pick up on the smaller details like your favourite beverage and ensure that any needs are promptly met. It’s these fine details that make a Viking sailing stand out from the rest, as your trip feels both thoughtful and personal, without being overbearing.

Final Tips

Be sure to plan ahead, reserve and pack accordingly for the various on board lectures and opportunities ashore. These are what truly make the journey unlike any other and bring each destination to life.
