About Viking Sea
Viking Sea is the second Viking Star-class ship, a 930-guest, all-veranda cruise ship built by Fincantieri and delivered to Viking Ocean Cruises in March 2016. She was named in May 2016 at Greenwich on the River Thames, where she became the largest vessel ever named in London. Her layout follows the class pattern, with veranda staterooms throughout, pools, a spa and fitness center, several restaurants and a café, a winter garden, a theater and a sports deck. The name had first been given to the hull that became Viking Sky, whose delivery ran late.
