Overview

In Norse mythology, Embla was the first woman, and the Viking Embla has all the charms of womankind. This ship is a beauty with understated elegance; she is practically surrounded by windows letting lots of light in. She is supportive, giving her passengers all they could ask for while sailing the rivers of Europe, including gourmet meals and comfortable beds. Viking Embla’s staff are also intuitive and ready to provide an extra hand when you need it or offer advice and directions to see the best spots while in port.
