Viking Sea
by Viking Ocean Cruises
Launched in 2016, the Viking Sea is a 930-guest small ship that reflects Viking’s signature style of destination-focused cruising paired with Scandinavian sophistication. Designed with the modern traveler in mind, this adults-only vessel offers a calm, immersive atmosphere where comfort and cultural enrichment are at the heart of every journey.
Measuring 228 meters in length and built by Fincantieri in Ancona, Italy, Viking Sea features 465 veranda staterooms, each offering a private balcony, king-size bed, and a spacious bathroom with heated floors. Clean lines, natural materials, and understated luxury define the ship’s aesthetic, creating a tranquil onboard experience.
Guests can enjoy globally inspired dining, unwind in the Nordic spa with its signature snow grotto, or take in the views from the infinity pool. Enrichment programs, including lectures and port talks by experts, provide deeper insights into the destinations visited.
With carefully crafted itineraries across Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, and North America, Viking Sea offers a thoughtful and rewarding way to explore the world in comfort and style.
