Viking Ingvi is one of the latest generation Viking Cruises longships. This is a new (patented) Viking river cruise boat design allowing bigger accommodations without the need to shrink public areas size and to compromise the vessel's general comfort. The Viking ship Ingvi represents the line's latest Longship-class river boat design. Viking Cruises longships feature energy-efficient hybrid engine technology, solar panels and interior design by "Yran & Storbraaten" (Norway). The patented "longship" design ("Rottet Studios", USA) allows much larger passenger accommodations with full-size balconies. The additional cabin space is created by 1 m (3,3 ft) off-centre shifting of the deck's corridor.

The riverboat's godmother is Mrs Anne Morgan Scully - president of the "McCabe World Travel Inc" (an agency specialized in Space-, Weekend Getaway-, Honeymoon-, Vacation- and Cruise travel deals, part of the "Virtuoso" group /top-selling luxury travel agencies). The ship's christening ceremony was held in Amsterdam, Holland. On March 17, 2014, Ingvi was inaugurated together with the Viking longships Alsvin, Baldur, Bestla, Delling, Eistla, Gullveig, Lif and Magni.
