Every single passenger room on all nine of the vessels is either a balcony cabin or a suite with a balcony. Viking currently operates seven traditional ocean ships aimed at the English-speaking market and two oceangoing expedition ships.

A Viking cabin primerĬruising regulars know that most cruise ships offer cabins in four broad categories: windowless “inside” cabins, ocean-view cabins, balcony cabins and suites.Īs noted above, though, you’ll only find the latter two types of cabins on Viking ocean ships. Still, even on Viking’s river ships, most cabins are balcony cabins.

Some can have as many as 25 cabins per ship that are below the waterline and have windows high in the walls. However, unlike its ocean ships, Viking’s river ships aren’t all-balcony-cabin vessels. Viking also offers many balcony cabins and suites on its river ships - something that isn’t always the case in the river cruise business, where space on vessels is at a premium. If you’re looking for a room that is big and open on an ocean cruise (and are willing to pay extra for it), Viking has plenty of options.įor more cruise guides, tips and news, sign up for TPG’s cruise newsletter. Viking’s ocean ships also offer a large number of suites, many of which are quite spacious. That’s something that even the most upscale of Viking’s ocean cruise rivals - including Oceania Cruises, Azamara, Seabourn, Silversea Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises - can’t say. Viking is one of the only cruise brands in the world that offers a balcony with every cabin on every ocean ship it operates - even the least expensive, smallest cabins. Is a balcony something you can’t live without when staying in a cabin on a cruise ship? If so, Viking could be your line.
