The evolutionary Viking Mars will join her sister ship Viking Neptune in a 2022 debut. Viking Mars will offer even more of what their loyal passengers have come to love about the line. This includes warms and cosy interior spaces like the Living Room atrium lobby; the forward facing Explorers Lounge; the Aquavit Terrace and the warm Wintergarden.

The ship docks close to port towns and cities, and with a maximum of 930 guests lost time waiting for shore excursions is minimal. The Norwegian heritage of the ship is evident with the light wood grains throughout that show their natural beauty. Colourful textiles such as rugs and tapestries recall the patterns of early Norwegian artists and craftsmen. Subtle accents of leather handrails and touches of slate and teak express warmth and character.

There are displays of Viking heritage and artworks. Public areas are spacious, relaxing, and child-free. And for quietude your stateroom is sound-proofed. Everything in the ship's presentation has been well thought through and executed.
