Have you ever wanted to know what goes into the making of a brand-new river cruise ship?  Viking River Cruises thinks so, which is why the company has developed a stunning movie showcasing the building of their new Viking Longships.

From their first breath of life in rough sketches and blueprints to the completed product at the Neptun Werft shipyards in Rostock, Germany, the Viking Longships are part of a remarkable journey in the history of Viking River Cruises.

With two more ships set to launch this year, and an additional six Longships next year, this is a process that will be repeated down to a science over the next year and a half.
