About Viking Neptune

Viking Neptune is a 930-guest, all-veranda ocean ship designed for destination-focused cruising in a relatively intimate setting. Its Scandinavian-inspired interiors, small-ship dimensions and 745-foot length allow access to ports that may be unsuitable for larger vessels. The ship offers a notably quiet, adult-oriented experience with no casino or children’s program emphasis, while its restaurants, enrichment spaces, Nordic spa and panoramic lounges support relaxed days at sea. Neptune also carried an experimental hydrogen fuel-cell system for onboard testing.
