About Viking Sun
Viking Yi Dun is a compact, all-veranda ocean ship originally delivered as Viking Sun in September 2017. After operating in China as Zhao Shang Yi Dun, the vessel returned to the Viking brand and Norwegian registry in 2026. The Star-class ship carries 930 guests in 465 staterooms and emphasizes destination-focused travel, Scandinavian design, open-air dining, cultural enrichment and a quieter adult-oriented atmosphere rather than casinos or large family attractions.
