Passenger spaces include a panoramic Restaurant, indoor-outdoor Aquavit Terrace, Lounge and Bar, Library, Sun Deck, walking track, putting green and organic herb garden. Suites provide separate living and sleeping areas, while the hybrid propulsion system is intended to reduce vibration.
The ship offers panoramic public rooms, a Sun Deck with 360-degree views, walking track, putting green, herb garden, solar panels and an indoor-outdoor Aquavit Terrace. Its design includes a square bow, asymmetric corridor and two-room suites.
Dining is centered on the panoramic Restaurant, with additional al fresco and casual service at the Aquavit Terrace. The ship also has a Lounge and Bar with extensive river views.
Evening entertainment, onboard lectures, cultural programming and scenic viewing are complemented by the Lounge, Library and Sun Deck. The ship emphasizes destination-focused programming rather than large-scale theatrical entertainment.
The 95 staterooms comprise 25 Standard Staterooms, 22 French Balcony Staterooms, 39 Veranda Staterooms, 7 Veranda Suites and 2 Explorer Suites. All suites have separate living and sleeping rooms; the Explorer Suites add wraparound balconies.
Viking Rota is primarily designed for adult cultural and destination travel, with no substantial dedicated children's facilities identified.
Outdoor wellness-oriented features include a walking track, putting green and open-air Sun Deck. No dedicated onboard spa, gym, pool or sauna is identified in the available ship information.
An elevator connects the Middle and Upper Decks, but the operator notes that categories E and F do not have elevator access. The ship's compact river layout may involve stairs between additional decks.
The ship uses ecologically friendly hybrid engines intended to reduce vibration and has solar panels and an organic herb garden. These features are presented by Viking as part of its lower-impact Longship design.
