On Deck Experience – MV Vikingfjord

The open deck areas aboard MV Vikingfjord provide direct access to the surrounding environment. With unobstructed views and close proximity to the water, the decks are central to the expedition experience.

Whether sailing through fjords, navigating ice, or anchored in remote locations, the deck offers a continuous connection to the landscape.

Why Deck Access Matters on a Small Expedition Vessel

    With limited guests onboard, you can quickly move on deck when conditions or wildlife sightings change.
  • Ideal for observation and photography
    Open deck areas provide clear sightlines for observing wildlife and capturing images.
  • Direct connection to the environment
    Experience changing weather, light, and conditions as part of the journey.

Life on Deck

The deck is used throughout the voyage for observation, relaxation, and informal moments.

It offers a space to follow the landscape as it changes, from calm fjords to open Arctic waters.

Seasonal highlights may include midnight sun during summer and northern lights during darker months, depending on location and conditions.

Wildlife sightings can occur at any time, making the deck a natural place to spend time during the voyage.

The deck areas are closely connected to indoor spaces such as the observation lounge and relaxation areas like the hot tub and sauna.
