The vessel belongs to the segment of small cruise ships. It has a gross tonnage of approximately 54,300 tons, is equipped with 499 cabins and can accommodate 998 passengers on board. “Viking Vela” is the thirteenth ship delivered by Fincantieri to the shipowner Viking, including the two expedition units built by the subsidiary Vard.

Viking ships are built in compliance with the latest environmental regulations and navigation regulations, are equipped with highly efficient engines and systems that minimize exhaust pollution and meet the most stringent environmental standards.
