Overview
The atmosphere on Viking Sea is designed to foster camaraderie among guests while making fascinating discoveries at every port-of-call. Viking’s second oceangoing ship is intimate, and her understated elegance is a staple of the cruise ship.
However, its modern Scandinavian design has a nautical touch only known to Viking Cruises. With a 3-million-euro investment in art onboard, you can count on engaging with thought-provoking paintings and sculptures from artists like Edvard Munch and Jakob Weidemann. Join other world explorers as you indulge in destination-focused menu that highlight local cuisine.
Stop by for cocktails at the Viking Bar located on the ground floor of the atrium and enjoy destination-driven movies in one of two Viking Theaters aboard Viking Sea.
You’ll love sampling fine Scandinavian fare in the Explorer Lounge and visiting the Wintergarden filled with charming Scandinavian elements meant to provide a soothing airy space for relaxation.

We were treated extremely well by staff. Upon our arrival in San Juan at midnight we were pleased to have sandwiches and cookies in our cabin. Our cabin steward, Joni, quickly took care of any needs we had. When changing our airlines reservations at the customer relations desk, Elona was very, very helpful in getting a quick and easy resolution for us. Alex, in the Explorer Lounge was attentive to our needs when we were there. Was very impressed with the musical programs in the theater. The singers (two girls two men) were very talented and were very friendly. Great experience and wonderful service during the entire trip.
Pros: Staff on board was attentive and very good at their jobs. I felt very welcomed as a guest on board.
Cons: Handling of luggage at the San Juan airport on our departure was a bit alarming. When all the luggage was put through the agricultural check I did not have sight of my bag. Another passenger took the bag by mistake which was remedied quickly however I was not comfortable with not having my bag within sight at all times until I checked it in with the airlines.

ABBA/BEATLES/SONGWRITERS performances were professional and interactive; very entertaining. Decor of the ship was LOVELY with many spaces for enjoying time alone, with a partner or with larger groups. Focus on Norse heritage was informative and tastefully done. VERY welcoming in every open (small and large) area. Exceptional service by cabin crew. World Cafe options also pleasing and with variety/themes. Included excursions were perfect in length and information. The smaller food venues were VERY noisy and did not live up to fine dining opportunities.
Pros: No travellers under 18; the team of 4 who provided entertainment were exceptional
Cons: Outside pool temps very very warm--too warm to enjoy

Viking Sea provides all the service and amenities we have come to savor on Crystal, Cunard, and Holland America. The size of the ship is perfect, and service is absolutely first-rate. The only thing missing--a minor point--is the absence of a suites-only breakfast venue.
Pros: Superb staff in all departments
Cons: No private breakfast venue for suite passengers

My sister and I had been wanting to do the Scandinavian cruise for many years but our schedule and the Cruise Line schedules had not matched up. We booked this cruise 3 years ago. It met and far exceeded our expectations. We had a lot of history, humor, and views that cannot be described. It was all we had hoped for and much more!
Pros: Everything - the ship, staff, amenities, excursions, and food!
Cons: None
