Viking Helgrim overview

Viking ships are specially designed to navigate the world’s great rivers and provide convenient daily access to a plethora of destinations and experiences.

Helgrim - Viking emissary to the king of Wessex. When tensions were high between King Harald I of Norway and King Athelstan of Wessex, the great Norse sailors Helgrim and Osfrid delivered on behalf of Harald the gift of a ship to Athelstan. The vessel is said to have had purple sails and gilded shields along the gunwale. The gesture is seen as the start of a long and productive relationship between the two nations.

Enjoy the intimate, custom-built vessels designed to navigate Portugal’s Douro River, dock in the heart of Porto and take you through one of Europe’s oldest wine regions.

These intimate Viking Longships® were custom built to sail Portugal’s Douro River, with state-of-the-art engineering, deluxe accommodations and streamlined Scandinavian interiors.

Enjoyable Portugal by Thoman

Sail date: May 29, 2022 / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Viking Helgrim / Destination: River Cruises - Europe

we enjoyed the cruise very much. We were on the go all the time, so be prepared to get tired. Early bus tours and late after dinner evenings. We were worn out after we got off. Very well organized

Loved time on boat but excursions need to be improved by 2Wander

Sail date: Dec 24, 2023 / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Viking Helgrim

The excursions happened while the boat cruised. Very limited/no time to explore on your own. No communication to itinerary changes prior to cruise. Last lock closed due to maintenance; docked 2 days where Sabor met Duoro (nothing to do in town). Motocoach rides long. Could have offered more at the Coa Museum since there was time. Hotel selections could be improved. If you chose to eat a little later than when dining opened, food was not refreshed but leftovers especially at breakfast. Most excursions focused on Cathedrals and port. Really no focus on wine from the region.

Ask for a specific itinerary if traveling during holidays. Cruise only during the day while on excursions.
