Viking Mira: Discover the New Small-Ship Ocean Experience Sailing in 2026

Designed for the curious, the cultured, and the quietly adventurous, Viking Mira is set to join Viking Cruises’ acclaimed ocean fleet in 2026. With just 499 veranda staterooms and a guest capacity under 1,000, she reflects the brand’s continued commitment to small-ship intimacy and destination-focused travel.

Built for immersive exploration with refined Scandinavian design, Viking Mira offers a calm, modern onboard experience — where every space is crafted for comfort and connection to the world beyond the ship. Her inaugural season will span the Mediterranean and Northern Europe, offering elegant voyages to ports that larger ships simply can’t reach.

What makes Viking Mira stand out?

Viking Mira embodies the elegance of small-ship cruising with a modern, purpose-built design focused entirely on enriching travel. Unlike larger vessels, she’s crafted to dock in lesser-known ports, allowing guests to step closer into the heart of each destination. Her scale — just under 1,000 guests — ensures a relaxed, crowd-free atmosphere, ideal for thoughtful exploration.

Signature Viking touches define the experience: all-veranda staterooms, serene public spaces inspired by Scandinavian minimalism, and a strong emphasis on cultural enrichment through curated lectures, regional cuisine, and immersive shore excursions. Viking Mira stands apart not through extravagance, but through quiet sophistication and a deeply intentional approach to ocean travel.

‎

What does life onboard look like?

Life aboard Viking Mira is serene, elegant, and deeply attuned to the rhythms of the sea. The ship’s design emphasizes openness and light — with expansive glass, natural materials, and warm, minimalist interiors that reflect Viking’s Scandinavian heritage.

Guests can relax in thoughtfully designed spaces like the Explorers’ Lounge, unwind in the LivNordic Spa, or take in the view from the infinity pool at the ship’s stern. Enrichment is woven into the daily experience — with onboard lectures, classical performances, and cultural programming that complement each voyage.

Whether you're sipping a glass of wine in the Wintergarden or reading quietly in the Library, Viking Mira invites you to sail at your own pace, in understated luxury.

Where will you sleep — and eat?

Every guest aboard Viking Mira enjoys the comfort of a veranda stateroom, offering ocean views and private outdoor space. Staterooms are elegantly appointed with spacious bathrooms, king-size beds, and thoughtful Scandinavian design details — all created to evoke a sense of calm and retreat.

Dining on Viking Mira is a refined, destination-driven experience. Guests can savor regional cuisine in The Restaurant, explore global flavors at World Café, or indulge in intimate meals at Chef’s Table and Manfredi’s Italian Restaurant. With open seating, no additional charges for specialty dining, and menus that reflect the ports of call, every meal is both a culinary journey and a continuation of the voyage itself.

‎

What can you see, do, and experience?

On Viking Mira, the focus is on enrichment, discovery, and moments of quiet luxury. Rather than thrill rides or crowded attractions, the ship offers experiences designed to deepen your connection to each destination and enhance your time at sea.

Notable highlights include:

• LivNordic Spa – with thermal suite, sauna, snow grotto, and complimentary access
• Infinity Pool & Hot Tub – open-air relaxation with sweeping views aft
• Explorers’ Lounge – panoramic seating, live music, and curated book collections
• Onboard Enrichment – cultural lectures, TED-style talks, and destination briefings

Where is she going — and when?

Viking Mira is set to launch in spring 2026, beginning her inaugural season with a selection of cruises through the Mediterranean and Northern Europe. Early itineraries include sailings along the coasts of Italy, Greece, and Croatia, as well as voyages to the British Isles, Scandinavia, and Iceland later in the season.

Her small size allows access to less-traveled ports, giving guests a more intimate and in-depth look at each destination. Whether exploring ancient cities, fjord-draped coastlines, or northern isles, Viking Mira offers a thoughtful, immersive way to experience Europe by sea.
