THE GREAT OUTDOORS

We highlight the variety of inviting outdoor spaces on board Viking ships

The great outdoors is especially energising when you’re at sea or on the river. The breeze is fresh, the air is clean, and it’s the perfect place to take a stroll on deck, relax and restore a sense of equilibrium. We’ve gathered some of our favourite outdoor places on board our award-winning ocean ships, Viking Longships and new expedition ships. Pull up a sun lounger or a comfy chair – we’ll see you there!

AQUAVIT TERRACE

First designed for Viking Longships, this outdoor terrace has been reimagined for our ocean ships, where it is set around the Infinity Pool. By day, it’s a relaxing lounge area, at night it transforms into a magical space where your destination is your dining room. Likewise, on Viking’s expedition ships, the Aquavit Terrace is a sociable, relaxing space, where you can take in the views or take a dip in a choice of three pools.

FINSE TERRACE

This beautiful space on the Viking expedition ships offers the ultimate in outdoor comfort. Inviting sofas with feather‑ filled cushions wrap around a Nordic‑style fire pit, and plush blankets add to the warm ambience. Everywhere you look, you are met with spectacular views of stunning scenery.

PRIVATE VERANDA

Step out of your stateroom straight onto your private veranda. On the river and at sea (where every room comes with a veranda), your outside retreat is the perfect spot to relax and take in the fresh air, or take breakfast, lunch or dinner – our ocean ships offer 24‑hour room service, all included, of course.

THE MAIN POOL ON VIKING OCEAN SHIPS

A haven for relaxation, swims and soaks, the heated main pool, with its overhead retractable roof, is a calming oasis in all weathers. By night, it transforms into a magical venue for stargazing and for watching a classic movie, or enjoying opera under the stars.

The largest suite onboard our expedition ships offers 1,223 sq. ft. of exceptional space and amenities, including a private garden lounge area, complete with badestamp, a traditional wooden‑sided hot tub. Perfect for relaxing after a busy day of exploring.

SUN DECK AND LOUNGE

The top deck on the Viking Longships offers a walking track, organic herb garden, and panoramic views that change with every bend in the river. This space on Viking’s ocean ships is an outdoor living area with comfy sofas, and you can practise your swing on the putting green and make use of the fitness equipment.
