Viking Orion

Viking Orion

Viking Orion is the fifth ship to join Viking Ocean Cruises, a sister cruise line of the highly-acclaimed Viking River Cruises. Viking has taken the best concepts of their river cruising and enhanced them with big-ship amenities to provide you with a brand-new experience. Viking Orion cruises have been available since 2018, offering unforgettable adventures in Alaska, Asia, Australia/New Zealand, and the Pacific.

Once in port, the ship stays late into the night so you can enjoy complimentary shore excursions without the pressure of rushing back. Viking Orion cruises are incredibly valuable for their inclusive dining, entertainment, and shore excursions. This is definitely an adventure you don’t want to miss!

Entertainment

Viking Orion is a deeply enriching experience, made possible by her complimentary shore excursions and onboard programs:

• When you’re not off exploring new cities and ancient sites, you can catch an interesting lecture or TED talk.
• The Explorers' Lounge has a great collection of library books to read about where you’re visiting.
• You can visit the onboard heritage center to learn more about history.
• Shore excursions are led by local English-speaking guides who can provide you with an authentic experience.

Aside from enrichment, you can discover other entertainment options that are more leisure-based:

• Musical entertainment often takes place in the Theater, and movies are shown in its two adjoining Cinemas. Don’t forget to grab some fresh popcorn before going in!
• The Sports Deck features bocce, shuffleboard, golf-putting, and more games to play.
• Those who want to go for a swim have two incredible options – the main swimming pool and an infinity pool, located aft on the beautiful Aquavit Terrace. The area around the main swimming pool features a bar and a grill where you can grab a quick bite. The Aquavit Terrace also features a bar service, so you can enjoy the cruise ship’s wake with a cocktail in hand.
• When the sun sets, you will find plenty of comfortable indoor spaces where you can relax, socialize, and enjoy another drink.

Ship Highlights

The Viking Orion cruise's inclusive fare makes it easier than ever to enjoy your trip. While many other ships charge extra for convenient amenities, Viking includes them in the cost of your voyage. Here is what’s included in your fare:

• All port taxes and fees;
• One complimentary shore excursion per port;

The Nordic Spa

The spa onboard Viking Orion is like none other at sea. Its thermal suite is accessible free of charge and features a perfect balance of hot and cold therapy, keeping in line with Nordic tradition. In the thermal suite, you can discover a Steam Room, a Sauna, a cold plunge pool and dump bucket, and a Snow Grotto, as well as padded and heated loungers where you can just relax and enjoy the ambiance. Spa treatments are available for a fee and include services such as body scrubs, massages, and facials. There is also a salon that offers nail, hair, and waxing services, along with makeup applications, and a state-of-the-art Fitness Center with weights and cardio machines.

The Kitchen Table

The Kitchen Table is more like an experience than a dining venue. Many like to think of it as part-excursion, part-meal. In the morning, you will accompany the chef on a shopping trip in port. While purchasing the ingredients for the evening meal, don’t be surprised if you find yourself sampling local specialties. Later in the night, the group gets together in the test kitchen-like venue that hosts the Kitchen Table. You can choose to assist in preparing dinner, or you can sit back and watch while enjoying wine and small appetizers. There is a fee to enjoy this experience but for what you get, it’s absolutely worth the price.
