Every single stateroom aboard Viking Star, Sea, Sky, Sun, Orion, Jupiter, Venus, Mars, Neptune, Saturn, Vela, and Vesta features a private, furnished step-out veranda with floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors, king-size beds, heated bathroom floors, and premium Freyja toiletries.

What drinks are included on Viking Ocean Cruises, and is the Silver Spirits package worth it?

Complimentary house wines, beers, and soft drinks are served with lunch and dinner. Outside of meal hours, specialty coffees, teas, and still/sparkling water are complimentary 24/7 throughout the ship. For unlimited cocktails, premium wines by the glass (up to $15+ per glass), champagne, and spirits at any bar or lounge, Viking offers the Silver Spirits package for approximately $30 per person per day.
