The Viking Lofn and Budapest from the Danube



Time to board our Viking boat, the Lofn, named for the Norse goddess of forbidden love (sounds like a wilder ride than we were expecting lol).















Our Viking river boat, modeled after the historic Viking long boat, is long and narrow with three floors and an open roof terrace on the top. 








We knew better than to expect a rock climbing wall or an ice skating rink as you find on some of the big ocean cruise ships, but we thought this little putting green was cute (& funny).

Our room was quite small but well designed with a balcony we thoroughly enjoyed. However, on this day, we were side-by-side with another Viking ship, and the balconies were touching one another. Not the least bit private.






A highlight of our time in Budapest was leaving the city after dark via the Danube. We were fortunate that our balcony was on the Buda side of the boat giving us magical views!
