Viking Helvetia was built in 2006, and along with her sister ship Viking Sun<\/a>, sails some of the most spectacular waterways in Europe<\/a>. Sporting high ceilings and plenty of windows, these two vessels are capable of carrying 198 passengers in an environment that is as inviting as it is comfortable. In fact, there\u2019s almost no area of this ship that doesn\u2019t feature panoramic windows, allowing the passing European countryside to be seen no matter where you are.<\/p>\n There are five stateroom categories aboard Viking Helvetia:<\/p>\n As guests enter on Middle Deck, they are greeted by the sweeping two-story Atrium Lobby. The main reception area is located here, along with comfortable seating. Additional seating is also featured one deck up, along with a 24-hour Coffee and Tea station and a fruit basket \u2013 the perfect combination for sitting back and watching the world go by. A small onboard boutique is located here as well.<\/p>\n All the way aft on Upper Deck is the ship\u2019s Library, which features approximately 100 books in English and some in other languages as well. An assortment of puzzles and card games area also available here.<\/p>\n All the way forward on Upper Deck is the beautiful forward-facing Observation Lounge. Featuring windows on all three sides, this room makes the perfect place to sit down with a good book or a drink from the accompanying bar and watch the beautiful landscapes of Europe float by.<\/p>\n One deck down on Middle Deck is the ship\u2019s Restaurant.
