About Viking Yi Dun
Viking Yi Dun is a 930-guest Viking Star-class ship that entered service in 2017 as Viking Sun and sailed the line's first round-the-world cruise, from Miami to London, in 2017-2018. In 2021 she was transferred to China Merchants Viking Cruises, a joint venture with China Merchants Shekou Cruises, registered in China and renamed Zhao Shang Yi Dun. In March 2026 she took her current name, was reflagged to Norway and rejoined the Viking fleet. She now sails Mandarin-language voyages for Chinese guests, starting with a Mediterranean season from August 2026, and is due to stay in Europe in 2027 for the Mediterranean and Northern Europe.
