Vikingen, the party boat of Sarandë
Look for the horned helmet and the skull on the prow: that is the Vikingen, the boat that takes Sarandë's boat parties out of the bay in daylight and brings them back to the promenade after dark.

Vikingen Boat Saranda: tell us your dates
Leave your dates: the list sends you the nights that fall on them, and the day new tickets open.
Three decks, three moods
Top deck: foam. Middle deck: reggaeton. Lower deck: commercial music. The bar stayed open the whole way, because the ticket covered it, and the boat paused out at sea so you could jump in before heading home.
Sundays in French
On Sundays the boat became Le Classico: a French DJ, foam and fireworks over the bay. Its page has the boarding, departure and return times.
Before you board
Be on the promenade before boarding: the boat sails on time and the party happens at sea, so nobody joins halfway. Ashore again around nine, you can keep going in town or head down to the Ksamil beach clubs.

Before the night
After dark
Rock & Blues, Sarandë: the Friday Ladies Night and where to find it
Rock & Blues sits in the middle of Sarandë, close to where the boats moor, so it's easy to reach on foot. There isn't much published about it: one poster, one paragraph on a ticket page and an address. Here is all of it, and what's missing.
Festivals & big dates
Sunset parties in Sarandë: the 2026 nights that started early and ended by midnight
Not everyone wants to start at midnight. On the Sarandë seafront, a handful of 2026 parties began before dark and were over by twelve, leaving the night free or the morning intact. Here they are side by side, from their official posters and ticket pages, with the details that differ from one to the next.
After dark
Vikingen Boat Saranda: boarding time, what's on board and when you're back
A party on the Vikingen starts in daylight and ends before the clubs open, which makes it the odd one out on the Riviera. Here is where to board, how the two 2026 parties differed and what the posters did and didn't promise. The boat has no website, so all of this comes from its posters, ticket pages and Instagram.
