In early 2022, Viking Line’s new climate-smart vessel, Viking Glory (CruiseMapper), will launch service on the Turku-Mariehamn-Stockholm route. The company has now revealed that the vessel will be delivered with the Baltic Sea’s first genuine rooftop terrace, located on Deck 11. Offering flexible solutions and infrared heating, the terrace will enable passengers to enjoy the incredible sea views along with deliciously prepared food and drinks from early summer through late autumn.
“Viking Glory embodies our vision of the Baltic Sea passenger cruise ship of the future, with a combination of climate-smart solutions and an unbeatable archipelago experience. An essential part of any cruise is to sit out on deck and enjoy the ever-changing sea and archipelagos with their special islets and rocky skerries. With the unique Viking Terrace, it will be possible for the first time to maximise this experience during the warmer half of the year, regardless of the weather,” says Stig Pernell, who will be the intendant on Viking Glory.
Viking Terrace is a flexible combination of restaurant and rooftop bar located on Deck 11 and will be open to sunworshippers on warmer days but, thanks to its glazing and infrared heating, can be a protected oasis on cooler days as well. The seasonally-adapted solution is brand-new for this kind of vessel on the Baltic.
On the rooftop terrace, passengers can relax and enjoy hot and cold dishes, including a luxurious breakfast, as well as drinks from the bar from early in the morning to the wee hours of the night. The restaurant has seating for 202 people plus 54 comfortable sun loungers. Naturally, the deck also offers a generous selection of ice cream, a play area and entertainment for our youngest passengers on summer days. In the evening, the company provides more adult-oriented entertainment in the form of troubadours and DJs.
“Viking Terrace will offer the pleasures of life in all their best forms. On the big terrace, we will serve public favourites such as juicy hamburgers and other food from the grill, pasta and salads, of course along with thirst-quenching drinks in the summer heat. We are really longing to create unforgettable memories on board together with our passengers,” says Stig Pernell.
Viking Terrace will open on board Viking Glory in spring 2022. Tickets for the vessel will go on sale in autumn 2021.
