In 2015, Viking introduced its first ocean ship with the naming of the 930-guest all-veranda Viking Star. Viking’s ocean fleet features modern Scandinavian design with elegant touches, intimate spaces and attention to detail.

Ocean itineraries are designed to maximize the amount of time travelers spend at their destination.
In January 2022, Viking launched new expedition voyages with the arrival of its first vessel, the 378-guest Polar Class Viking Octantis. Expedition ships are optimally sized and built for expeditions, at an ideal size for safety, comfort and onboard amenities in remote destinations. The ships feature the company’s signature Scandinavian design, with public areas that are favorites on Viking’s Ocean ships, as well as new spaces created specifically for expeditions.
Viking Ocean and Expedition cruises offer experiences like no other, making them the perfect vacation choice for couples and solo travelers that are active and adventurous.
