Trevor enjoys a delightful dining experience at Manfredi's restaurant on the Viking Ocean Cruise, savoring the exquisite cuisine served in a luxurious and intimate setting.

• Viking's ocean ships exude an elegant and modern yet warm and inviting atmosphere, characterized by sleek lines and an abundance of natural materials.
• Each vessel is designed with the same core principles, celebrating Nordic heritage, residential modernism, a sense of craft, references to nature, and a spirit of exploration.
• The ship's design is reminiscent of the original Viking vessels, with handcrafted natural materials such as wood and colourful textiles.
• Beneath the stairs, one can find a lichen garden that has been sourced from the Finse Mountains in Norway.
• The floor-to-ceiling windows and sun loungers facing outward provide sweeping sea views, and the Explorers Lounge, Living Room, and atrium feature cosy and elegant Nordic-inspired decor.
• The ship's design pays homage to the original Vikings' exploratory spirit and connection to the natural world, offering guests a comfortable and luxurious way to explore the oceans while immersing themselves in Nordic heritage.
• Within the explorer’s lounge, one can discover astrolabes and navigational tools that have been inspired by far-reaching trade journeys.
• The winter lounge is an additional space where guests can retreat and unwind. It is an ideal location to indulge in reading a book or savouring an afternoon high tea while enjoying some classical music.
