Vincent Vacations Cabin Selection Secrets & Noise Warnings

Don't let a bad stateroom location ruin your luxury vacation. Keep these tips in mind when picking cabin numbers:

Under Deck 7 Pool & World Café

Avoid staterooms on Deck 6 directly beneath the Pool Grill or World Café galley (approximately cabins 6050–6090). Early morning breakfast prep and moving deck chairs around 6:00 AM can cause scraping noise overhead.

Forward Bow Cabins on River Longships

On Viking River Longships, cabins on Deck 1 and forward Deck 2 are located near anchor winches and bow thrusters. During early morning lock transits or river docking (often 5:30 AM), mechanical vibration and chain rattle are noticeable.

The Sweet Spot: Deck 4 & 5 Midship

The smoothest, quietest cabins on Viking Ocean ships are Midship Penthouse and Deluxe Verandas on Decks 4 and 5. They have staterooms both above and below them (no public venues), and experience the least motion during open sea days.

Stateroom Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

On Viking River Longships, a French Balcony stateroom (135 sq ft) features floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that open to fresh river breezes with an exterior safety railing, allowing you to lean out and take photos without having an actual step-out deck with chairs. A Veranda stateroom (205 sq ft) provides a full step-out private balcony furnished with two chairs and a table.

Purpose-built for polar exploration on Viking Octantis and Viking Polaris, the Nordic Balcony replaces drafty traditional balconies with an integrated sunroom. At the touch of a button, the top glass pane lowers to waist height, converting your living area into a sheltered, open-air wildlife observation shelf protected from freezing Antarctic or Arctic winds.

Yes! Viking Ocean and Expedition ships feature 100% complimentary self-service launderettes on every stateroom deck, complete with free high-end Miele washers, dryers, irons, and complimentary detergent!
