Overview
If you want to truly experience what Portugal has to offer, then sailing the Douro River on Viking Helgrim is a must.
Viking Helgrim exclusively sails the Douro River, which means she is the perfect ship to explore this beautiful European country. You’ll see all the highlights of Portugal – Lisbon, Porto and more, while only having to unpack once.
Viking Helgrim herself is a stunning ship and you’ll enjoy every moment you spend onboard. You’ll love the world-class cuisine in the restaurant, the elegant decor with Scandinavian touches, the comfortable staterooms with sweeping views of Portugal, the onboard boutique to indulge in a little retail therapy, and more.
For a river cruise that is culturally enriching, relaxing and visually stimulating – Viking Helgrim is waiting for you.

We have been fortunate to sail with Viking previously and this trip did just confirmed we made the right decision. The crew is outstanding. Our cabin attendant knew our names within 30 minutes. The dining room staff quickly learned our preferences and often responded before we even asked. Each meal was delicious - fresh and well prepared. Hats off to the chef. The ship was cleaned continuously and Covid protocols were followed. Shore excursions provided a good feel for the culture of Portugal even in a short time. Our next trip will again be Viking.
Pros: Viking sets a very high standard !
