MV Viking Sea, classified as a small cruise ship,[4] was built by Italian shipbuilders Fincantieri for Viking Ocean Cruises. She sailed from Venice to Enderby Wharf on the River Thames at Greenwich, London, England, where on 5 May 2016 she became the largest vessel named in London. She will sail around Scandinavia, the Baltic and across the Mediterranean during her maiden season.[4] Viking Sea will have two sister ships, Viking Star and Viking Sky.[5]

A car carrier registered in Singapore shares the name Viking Sea.[6]

Viking Sea has passenger accommodation, three swimming pools, a spa, a fitness center, two restaurants and a café, lounges, a winter garden, a terrace, a sports deck, theatre and bars, and shops.[7]
