About this ship

Viking Vesta

Launching in July 2025, the Viking Vesta is a refined addition to Viking’s acclaimed fleet of small ocean ships. Purpose-built to carry 998 guests, this all-veranda vessel continues the brand’s legacy of delivering culturally rich journeys in an atmosphere of Scandinavian-inspired elegance. Every element of the ship’s design is centered around comfort, simplicity, and meaningful travel.

Built by Fincantieri in Ancona, Italy, Viking Vesta measures 238 meters in length and offers 499 staterooms, each with a private balcony, a king-size bed, and a spa-style bathroom with heated floors. Guests enjoy thoughtfully curated spaces and open interiors that invite relaxation and connection to the sea.

Onboard, travelers will find a range of amenities designed to enhance their journey, including multiple dining venues that highlight regional cuisine, a Nordic spa and thermal suite, an infinity pool, and enriching lectures from Viking’s resident experts. The ship sails immersive itineraries throughout the Mediterranean and Northern Europe, combining world-famous cities with lesser-known coastal gems.

Viking Vesta embodies the spirit of slow travel—offering an elegant and enriching way to explore the world, one culturally immersive port at a time.
