Viking Orion
Viking Orion: Far-ranging state-of-the-art ocean ship
Snapshot
The fifth ocean ship from Viking Ocean Cruises, Viking Orion debuted in June 2018. Expand your horizons on this comfortable, state-of-the-art ship, which is nearly identical to its sister ships Viking Star, Sky, Sea and Viking Sun. Each ship, carrying only 930 guests, has been designed with understated Scandinavian elegance. The midsize vessels are small and lithe enough to sail into ports that larger ships can't access.
Expect port calls to be longer than average, with frequent overnights. Cruisers have their choice of included excursions in each port, with optional premium tours available for a fee. Other inclusions on Viking Orion include Wi-Fi (it costs extra on most other cruise lines), nearly all the restaurants on board, and wine and beer at dinner. Use of the ship's expansive Nordic spa is also included. Nice!
