Viking has announced it has taken delivery of its newest river ship, the Viking Tonle, which will sail exclusively on Southeast Asia’s Mekong River.
“Our guests are thinking people who value learning through travel, and the rich history and traditions of Vietnam and Cambodia make this region especially compelling,” said Torstein Hagen, chairman and CEO of Viking.
“We are pleased that the addition of the Viking Tonle to our fleet allows us to welcome even more curious travelers to the Mekong River and the cultural treasures of Southeast Asia,” added Hagen.
The company said in a press release that the new ship is built specifically for the Mekong River and the 15-day “Magnificent Mekong” itinerary.
The Viking Tonle joins her sister ship, the Viking Saigon, and both ships host 80 guests i
