Viking Longship Delling draws its name from Norse mythology; the god Delling is the "father of the day." And the minute you walk onboard this river gem, you're bathed in daylight, thanks to the two-story glassed reception area. Light is a theme throughout, the entire ship, which features earth-toned decor, has been designed to allow in as much natural light as possible.
The Delling is also an environmentally conscious ship with several eco-friendly features. The ship runs on diesel-electric hybrid engines that reduce vibrations and allow for a smooth ride. Solar panels on the Sun Deck help fuel the engines, and the chef maintains an organic garden on the Upper Deck. In each cabin, the air-conditioning will kick off whenever you open the door to the outside, and you turn lights on by inserting your room key into a specified slot—making it impossible to leave the lights burning while you're off the ship.
