Viking Saturn: Enticing sailings on a premium midsize ship

The 930-passenger Viking Saturn launched in May 2023 as the ninth ship to join Viking Cruises' oceangoing fleet, sailing itineraries to many of the most enticing seaport destinations in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe.

Nearly identical to its groundbreaking sister ships, Viking Saturn features the same inclusive premium cruise experience with itineraries centering on the ports of call. Shore excursions, Wi-Fi as well as beer and wine with lunch and dinner are all included in the price of a fare. Use of the ship's expansive Nordic spa is also free.

Viking Saturn gives guests a choice of several casual dining spots as well as three upscale restaurants for dinner at no extra charge. The ship is home to two pools, an outside infinity pool and a main pool deck encased by a retractable roof, making it the perfect place to relax rain or shine. The interior areas are simple yet elegantly appointed, with blonde tones and an inviting, understated Scandinavian décor.

Viking Saturn follows the 2022 launch of sister ships Viking Mars and Viking Neptune.
