The Viking Sea Cruise Ship might not be the first in the line, but it is the second. It’s been less than a year since Viking Ocean Cruises launched the company’s first ship, the Viking Star. The popularity of the ship has exceeded all expectations, and that’s why so many people are looking forward to attempting a cruise on the newest ship in the fleet as well. The line plans on launching four more ships for a grand total of six over the course of the next four years. This secondary ship is not a large ship, though it is the largest ship that was ever launched out of London in terms of sheer size and capacity.
With the ability to allow 930 people to enjoy their vacation at one time, the Viking Sea is a 47,800 ton ship with the ability to take guests most anywhere they want to go as they enjoy a trip around the seas. What’s remarkable about this ship is the noticeable absence of ‘typical’ cruise ship design. Gone are the bold and outrageous colors and gold and glassy décor. It’s sleek, state-of-the-art and modern through and through. Elegant to the core, this ship features an Explorers’ Lounge with a curved staircase, floor to ceiling windows with breathtaking views and a piano designed for upscale entertainment.
Because dining is one of the most important things any passenger does aboard a luxury cruise ship, the Viking Sea was not built to disappoint. With a Tuscan-themed restaurant featuring rustic local fare, a World Café with live cooking stations and al fresco seating and a high-end restaurant appropriately named The Restaurant, which is the most upscale of them all, there is no one this ship does not cater to.
The infinity pool is completely glass-encased at the back of the ship and the main pool comes complete with a glass roof that opens up on beautiful days. The spa is one of the most upscale imaginable, and it offers a full array of luxury spa treatments for the relaxed traveler. Entertainment provides you with two movie theaters, an enrichment programs in the arts as well as the Wintergarden, which is designed to mimic all the best of Scandinavian living on to of a cruise ship. At the moment, the Viking Sea offers guests an array of itineraries and price points. From a 10-day cruise from Venice to Athens through the Mediterranean with tickets beginning at only $2,999 to a 29-day excursion from Stockholm to London with stops in 10 different countries beginning at $13,599 per person, there is a sailing for everyone.
This ship offers lower fares for smaller rooms, and bigger fares for more upscale rooms. The countries that the ship visits regularly include Sweden, Russia, Estonia, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Scotland, England, Poland, London, Spain and even Italy. Every sailing is different, but there is one thing that all passengers will enjoy no matter which cruise you book on this luxurious ship; personalized service and an upscale cruise vacation on the newest ship in the Viking fleet.
