Enjoy an all-inclusive premium cruise aboard Viking Sea

Take the guesswork out of planning an upscale cruise vacation by choosing the Viking Sea. Every stateroom has a verandah, so you're sure to enjoy breathtaking ocean views with a breeze. Casually elegant Scandinavian design complements the superior service, both hallmarks of Viking Ocean Cruises.

From the very first deck of the Viking Sea, amazing amenities await. Replenish your spirit in the spa, then feast Italian-style at Manfredi's restaurant. Deck 2 delights with two cinemas and the theater, plus continental cuisine at The Restaurant. Deck 7 could just be your favorite, since it features an infinity pool, two hot tubs, indoor and outdoor eateries, a main pool that plays movies at night, and the popular Explorers' Lounge.

Rest assured, there's always something incredible to do or dine on aboard the Viking Sea. With at most 930 guests, you'll find it easy to mix and mingle or just have plenty of space all to yourself.

The Viking Difference

The Viking Difference

We travel to explore, to learn, to understand. At Viking, they believe travel should be more than just a trip—it should be a doorway to cultural insight and personal enrichment. That’s why their intimate, inclusive cruise itineraries are designed to help you explore nuances of your destination: its food, culture, people and customs.

 

The Viking Difference

SMALL SHIP EXPERTS: On a Viking ship, you will sail into the heart of your destination, so you can explore up close and in depth. The size of their vessels—with just 930 guests—gives them greater maneuverability, allowing them to dock where the mega-liners cannot, giving you more access to your destination and more time to explore. From their prime, central berths in the world’s great cities and seldom-visited ports, enriching discoveries are just a short walk from your ship.

THE VIKING WAY: With more itineraries in more destinations worldwide, Viking offers behind-the-scenes insights and opportunities that set them apart from other travel companies. While their included and optional shore excursions cover cultural and historic highlights, they also go beyond, sharing with you The Viking Way with their Local Life, Working World and Privileged Access experiences—opening doors to people and places otherwise difficult to visit.

CULTURAL ENRICHMENT: Viking's Culture Curriculum, an exclusive onboard program, brings local history to life with lectures on history and art; tasting of vintage wines from your destinations; restaurant menus inspired by local cuisine; informative port talks; enriching Destination Performances featuring folkloric shows and musicians playing regional and classical music; and an onboard cooking school allowing guests to learn how to prepare local specialties. Enlighten yourself further with our Library’s carefully curated collection of informative and inspirational books.

SERENE SCANDINAVIAN SPACES: Expand your horizons on their elegant, intimate ships, designed by experienced nautical architects and exclusive hotel designers to help you connect with your destination in every way. We’ve designed their vessels down to the most minute detail—from the serene Wintergarden, perfect for a calming cup of tea; to their Scandinavian-inspired Spa, a Nordic sanctuary of wellness; to the Explorers’ Lounge, where you can share your latest adventures with fellow travelers. The perfect retreat to relax and begin your day refreshed, each well-appointed stateroom is an open and airy sanctuary with a sweeping view of your destination.

DESTINATION-FOCUSED DINING: Whatever your tastes, Viking believes dining is an important part of your journey. That’s why they celebrate dining both on shore and on our ships. Their ocean vessels put the spotlight on fine dining in The Restaurant, which serves three full meals and the widest selection of culinary options. Their alternative restaurants, the World Café, The Chef’s Table and Manfredi’s Italian Restaurant, serve always available American classics and regional specialties—so you have choices, not just in food selection but where and how you enjoy them.

GENUINE & THOUGHTFUL SERVICE: At Viking, their Swiss-trained, friendly and knowledgeable staff are all devoted to making your onboard stay the most memorable possible. Their ships are small and intimate, and every member of our staff—from stateroom stewards to the Explorers’ Desk team—is dedicated to personally hosting you. They are quite confident they will exceed your expectations that they have guaranteed our award-winning service—the only cruise line to do so.

Immerse Yourself in Local Culture, Travel in Comfort

Immerse Yourself in Local Culture, Travel in Comfort

Destination Performances: Each Viking itinerary includes a Destination Performance representing the most iconic cultural performing art form of the region—whether it be Catalan rumba, Portuguese fado, traditional Greek dancing, Italian opera, or world renowned Mariinsky Theatre performers from St. Petersburg. Their diverse range of talent includes skilled folkloric performers and classically trained singers from the geographic regions they represent.

Munch Moments: Through an exclusive relationship with Oslo’s Munch Museum, Viking has been granted the digital rights to the entire collection of Norway’s most famous artist, Edvard Munch. Our “Munch Moments” bring the magic of Munch on board, with a daily, interactive event that showcase several pieces of art each afternoon to accompany your pre-dinner cocktail in the comfort of The Living Room. Marvel at this master Expressionist’s breathtaking work on our Atrium screen—including his famous painting The Scream and lesser known works such as Moonlight Over the Sea.

The Met Under the Stars: A Peabody Award and two-time Emmy winner, Metropolitan Opera’s Live in HD takes you beyond an ordinary visit to the opera. During this Privileged Access experience under the star-lit “sky” of The Theater, you’ll enjoy the world-class production intercut with backstage interviews, costume and set changes, and insight into technical details.

Theater Shows: Whether you’re in the mood for a Viking-exclusive musical, an operatic fantasy or the music of ABBA, Viking's theater shows are the perfect nightcap. Choose from among La Peregrina, Songscape: An Operatic Fantas, or The Music of Abba—or enjoy all three during your time on board. Or don your 3-D glasses and witness remarkable, up-close acrobatics in James Cameron’s Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away. Take a deeper dive into the places you’ve traveled so far to see with our carefully curated documentaries, brought to you by their exclusive arrangement with the BBC, the world’s leading documentary producer.

Destination Insights: Join Viking for a special series of short films intended to inform you about the iconic destinations and little-known gems you’ll be visiting. This series provides insights and information intended to deepen your understanding—and enjoyment—of the time ahead, and perhaps encourage you to engage with your destinations in a way you otherwise would not have.

Viking Art Guide: Should you wish to familiarize yourself with your ship before traveling you can download Viking's free app before you go.

Once on board, you can use the app to enjoy a self-guided tour their our Nordic art collection, the finest at sea.
