Grand Australia Circumnavigation

Launched in 2018, the Viking Orion offers an elegant and immersive cruising experience for 930 guests, combining Viking’s hallmark Scandinavian design with a distinct celestial theme. Named for the Orion constellation and honoring its godmother, NASA astronaut Dr. Anna Fisher, the ship brings a unique perspective to exploration, both worldly and astronomical.

Constructed by Fincantieri in Ancona, Italy, Viking Orion spans 228 meters and features 465 all-veranda staterooms, each offering a private balcony, king-size bed, and spa-style bathroom with heated floors. The ship’s interior blends natural textures, clean lines, and serene color palettes, reflecting Viking’s minimalist and sophisticated aesthetic.

One of the vessel’s standout features is the Explorers’ Dome, a high-tech planetarium that offers space-themed presentations and guided shows—an experience found on no other Viking ship. Guests can also enjoy regional dining at multiple venues, relax in the Nordic spa, or unwind at the infinity pool while sailing some of the most scenic coastlines in the world.

Viking Orion sails globally, with itineraries spanning the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Asia, and Australia, delivering cultural depth through expert-led shore excursions, overnight stays, and enrichment programs. It's a ship built for travelers seeking meaning, comfort, and a touch of the extraordinary.
