Vikingen Boat, Saranda
A three-deck viking ship that leaves Saranda harbour at sunset and comes back at dawn.
The Vikingen is the most recognisable boat on the Albanian Riviera: a viking hull with a skull at the bow, moored in Saranda harbour. The look is not just for photos. It is a genuine three-deck ship with three separate music areas, so you can change the mood without leaving the boat. It is the headline night of the Albanian summer and by far the best-selling thing in Saranda.

The running order never changes, and that is what makes it work. Boarding at 17:30, departure at 18:00, swim stops in clear water while the sun goes down, a foam party out at sea, then the night settles in and the party climbs until the boat gets back around three in the morning. Open bar is included for the whole trip, which changes the maths completely compared to a club entry.
Tickets start at €40 for the main format, with variants depending on the night. The Classico Sunset version starts at €25, and the White Party boards later, at 23:30, for people who would rather have the night than the swimming. Across a season the Vikingen runs more than thirty departures, making it the most regular fixture in Saranda.
One thing to be clear about: once the boat leaves, you are on it. Nine hours aboard is a long time, and that is precisely why groups love it. Bring something warm for the way back, it gets cold at sea at three in the morning even in August.
