Named for a mighty Valkyrie and the "Decider of Fates," Viking Herja is the 48th Longship launched by Viking River Cruises since 2012. The ship is seen here in Koblenz, Germany, beneath an imposing 12th-century fortress. David Swanson for USA TODAY
Except for a few design elements, Viking Herja is identical to all of Viking River's other 2,670-ton Longships, each carrying 190 passengers and a crew of 50. David Swanson for USA TODAY
On Viking Herja, seven Veranda Suites are located on the upper deck, and offer a separate living and sleeping area. Including the balcony, these measure 275 square feet. David Swanson for USA TODAY
Standard in all accommodations on Viking Herja, including these Veranda cabins, are mini-fridges, complimentary bottled water and 40- or 42-inch flat-screen TVs with movies on demand. David Swanson for USA TODAY
