About Viking Jupiter

Viking Jupiter entered service in 2019 as Viking’s sixth ocean ship, with Norwegian soprano Sissel Kyrkjebø as godmother and a naming ceremony in Oslo. She is built to the same plan as her sisters, 47,800 gross tons, 745 feet, 930 guests in 465 staterooms with a private veranda on every one, and like Viking Orion before her she carries the Explorers’ Dome planetarium above the Explorers’ Lounge.

She suits adults who want the destination to be the point of the trip. There is no casino and no children’s program; in their place are a resident historian and guest lecturers, the Viking Resident Musicians playing classical music in The Living Room, afternoon tea in the Wintergarden, the Nordic Spa with its snow grotto and an infinity pool off the Aquavit Terrace. One shore excursion in every port, Wi-Fi, beer and wine with lunch and dinner and the alternative restaurants are part of the fare.

Through 2026 and 2027 Viking lists Viking Jupiter on Mediterranean itineraries of 8 to 15 days between Barcelona, Rome (Civitavecchia), Venice (Chioggia), Athens (Piraeus), Istanbul and Lisbon, including Iconic Western Mediterranean, Empires of the Mediterranean, Greek Odyssey and the new Spain & Portugal Discovery, and on an 18-day South America & the Chilean Fjords voyage between Buenos Aires and Santiago (Valparaiso) in 2026.

  • Adults-only ship for guests 18 and over, with no casino on board
  • The Nordic Spa with a snow grotto, sauna, thermal pool and heated loungers, open to every guest

Viking Jupiter questions we answer every day

How big is Viking Jupiter?
Viking Jupiter is 47,800 gross tons and 745 feet long, with 465 staterooms for 930 guests, every one with a private veranda. Viking classes her as a small ship, and her size lets her dock in the center of ports that bigger ships cannot reach. She entered service in 2019 as Viking’s sixth ocean ship and shares her layout with the rest of the ocean fleet.
Is Viking Jupiter adults only?
Yes. All guests on Viking ocean ships must be 18 or older on the day they embark, and there are no facilities or programs for children. There is also no casino. The public rooms are given over to lounges, a library, lectures, classical music, the planetarium and the Nordic Spa rather than arcades and kids clubs, which keeps the ship quiet day and night.
What is included in the Viking Jupiter fare?
Viking includes one shore excursion in every port, Wi-Fi, all onboard meals including Manfredi’s and The Chef’s Table, beer, wine and soft drinks with lunch and dinner, specialty coffees and teas around the clock, 24-hour room service, access to the Nordic Spa thermal suite and fitness center, lectures and Destination Performances, self-service launderettes and port taxes and fees. Airfare, spa treatments, the Silver Spirits beverage package and The Kitchen Table are extra.
Which stateroom is the best choice on Viking Jupiter?
Every stateroom has a veranda, so the differences are space and priority. Veranda and Deluxe Veranda rooms are 270 square feet and suit most couples; Deluxe earns earlier booking windows for excursions, restaurants and the spa. Penthouse Veranda rooms add a sitting area at 338 square feet, and Explorer Suites give you a separate living room, with the aft suites getting wraparound verandas over the wake.
Where does Viking Jupiter sail in 2026 and 2027?
Viking lists her on Mediterranean voyages of 8 to 15 days between Barcelona, Rome (Civitavecchia), Venice (Chioggia), Athens (Piraeus), Istanbul and Lisbon, among them Iconic Western Mediterranean, Italian Sojourn, Journey to Antiquities, Empires of the Mediterranean, Greek Odyssey and the new Spain & Portugal Discovery. An 18-day South America & the Chilean Fjords voyage between Buenos Aires and Santiago (Valparaiso) is listed for 2026.
Does Viking Jupiter have a planetarium?
Yes. The Explorers’ Dome sits on the upper level of the Explorers’ Lounge and shows astronomy and exploration films on its domed ceiling, with a resident astronomer giving lectures and leading stargazing from the top deck when skies are clear. The shows are included. It is one of the quiet pleasures of the ship on sea days and a reminder of Viking’s exploration theme.
