Viking Vela (2024, 998 passengers) is Viking's first second-generation ocean ship — roughly 40 feet longer, 7 feet wider, and 6,500 GT heavier than the original ten-ship series, with 34 additional staterooms and new POD propulsion. Lead ship for a planned six-unit build that will define Viking's fleet direction for the next several years. Sails Mediterranean, Northern Europe, and global itineraries.
