Viking Mars
Viking — Viking ocean class
Viking's ocean formula pointed at the Pacific — Asia, Alaska and the South Pacific instead of the usual European circuit.
Of Viking's deliberately identical ocean sisters, Viking Mars is the one to book for the far side of the world. Delivered in 2022, she carries 930 guests at around 47,842 tons and spends her seasons across Australia and the South Pacific, Asia, and Alaska rather than the fleet's usual European haunts. The onboard formula stays fleet-standard: a veranda on every stateroom, restrained Scandinavian interiors, an adults-only guest list and no casino.
That consistency is the point. Because every Viking ocean ship is functionally the same, choosing Mars is really choosing her geography — longer flights to reach her, longer itineraries once aboard, and ports where a mid-size ship can still berth close to town. Included shore excursions at every call keep the planning load light in regions where independent logistics get complicated.

Viking Mars Highlights
Long-Haul Geography
Australia and the South Pacific, Asia and Alaska form her rotation — regions where sailings run longer, sea days matter and her quiet, veranda-forward design earns its keep.
The Viking Constants
All-veranda staterooms, Nordic-calm interiors, no casino and adults only — the fleet template applies unchanged, so past Viking guests know exactly what they are boarding.
Excursions Where They Count
Viking includes a shore excursion in every port, a bigger convenience in Asian and South Pacific harbors than in Europe, where sightseeing on your own is simpler to arrange.

Viking Mars: FAQs
How is Viking Mars different from the other Viking ocean ships?
Structurally she is not — the ocean fleet is deliberately near-identical, and Mars matches her sisters at around 47,842 tons for 930 guests. What distinguishes her is deployment: she concentrates on Australia and the South Pacific, Asia, and Alaska.
Is Viking Mars adults-only?
Yes — Viking's ocean ships carry adults only, with no casinos, waterslides or children's facilities aboard. The atmosphere is quiet by design, built around lectures, classical performances and time in port.
What does the fare on Viking Mars include?
Every port call comes with an included excursion, and the fare bundles much of what other premium lines sell as extras. On her long-haul itineraries that keeps the final bill close to the quoted one.
Where does Viking Mars sail?
Her pattern favors the Pacific: Australia and the South Pacific, Asia, and Alaska in season. Reaching her usually means serious flying on both ends — the kind of trip where having Biirdee build the long-haul flights around the cruise pays off.
