Rota was a rebellious Valkyrie, one of the fierce warrior women known as the "choosers of the slain" who served Odin. During Ragnarok, the Valkyries chose who would die and escorted souls to Valhalla, a realm of the dead in Norse mythology.
Associated with chaos, Rota was often linked to Gunnr, another warrior maiden, and Skuld, the youngest of the Norns-the Norse goddesses of fate.
The award-winning Viking Longships showcase innovative engineering, streamlined design, and understated elegance for the most comfortable European river cruise experience available.
