About Viking Sea
Viking Sea is a 930-guest, all-veranda ocean ship designed around Viking’s quiet, destination-focused style rather than large-resort cruising. Built in 2016, the compact Star-class vessel offers Scandinavian-inspired interiors, open-air promenades, multiple lounges, specialty and casual dining, and a Nordic spa. Its relatively small size supports access to ports that may be unavailable to larger ships, while every stateroom includes a private veranda. The ship is best suited to travelers seeking an upscale, adult-oriented experience with a calm atmosphere and strong emphasis on destination immersion.
