We’ve only been onboard Viking River Cruises’ brand-new Viking Odin for roughly 60 minutes – yet we couldn’t resist sharing these first few images of this beautiful river cruise vessel. First impression? WOW.
Check out these quick preview photos of the Viking Odin, and stay tuned for our full first day’s Live Trip Report from here in Amsterdam, coming later this evening!

From the Deck Chair will return tonight – LIVE from the Viking Odin in Amsterdam, Netherlands!
