Viking Mira

Viking Mira at a glance

Viking Mira is a 239-metre ocean ship carrying up to 998 guests, launched in 2026 as the latest addition to the Viking Cruises fleet. She sails under a Scandinavian design philosophy — understated, spacious and focused on destination immersion — with nearly every public venue open to all guests at no surcharge for entry.

• Known for: an infinity pool described as one of the first of its kind at sea, a retractable-roof main pool, and a theatre seating up to 450
• Regions sailed: Mediterranean, Transatlantic, Norway, Arctic and Portugal

Sailings depart from Barcelona, Athens (Piraeus), Rome (Civitavecchia), Venice, Bergen, Lisbon, Istanbul, Reykjavik, Greenwich (London) and Stockholm, making it straightforward to join her at a port that suits your travel plans.

Dining on Viking Mira

Viking Mira offers seven distinct dining venues, ranging from the included main restaurant to intimate speciality experiences that carry a separate charge.

The Restaurant is the ship's main dining room, framed by floor-to-ceiling ocean windows and serving regional specialities and timeless classics — included in your cruise fare. World Café brings open kitchens and live cooking to a relaxed all-day setting, with premium sushi and seafood on offer, and opens directly onto the Aquavit Terrace® — billed as having more outdoor dining space at sea than any other ship, with the destination literally as your backdrop.

For something lighter, the Pool Grill serves casual, freshly prepared dishes poolside, and the Wintergarden hosts complimentary afternoon tea with finger sandwiches, scones, pastries and live classical music beside the main pool. Mamsen's®, tucked inside the Explorers' Lounge, serves Norwegian specialities throughout the day at no extra cost — a nod to the Hagen family heritage behind Viking.

Two venues carry a separate charge and are worth reserving early. Manfredi's Italian Restaurant® recreates an authentic Italian trattoria, complete with an optional private dining room for special occasions. The Chef's Table presents a multi-course tasting menu with sommelier-paired wines, available in a private dining room on request. The Kitchen Table goes further still — an interactive culinary experience built around regional ingredients and local food culture, with pricing confirmed at booking.

Bars, lounges and entertainment

Viking Mira's social spaces are designed around conversation, music and a sense of voyage — all free to enter, with beverages charged separately unless covered by a beverage package.

The Living Room anchors the heart of the ship: generous seating, a calm atmosphere, and live classical music from Viking's Resident Musicians. The adjacent Clinker Bar draws its design from ancient Nordic longships and sits within the Living Room atrium. Torshavn® leans into the golden age of jazz lounges with live music and cocktails, while the Explorers' Lounge offers two-storey panoramic ocean views from deep, comfortable seats — a favourite on sea days. The Atrium serves as a central meeting point for guests who prefer an open, social setting.

The Theater seats up to 450 and screens lectures, films and TED Talks on a large display; it can also be divided into two HD cinemas. Admission is included. On deck, the Sports Deck provides a running track, boccie, mini golf and shuffleboard — guided classes such as yoga carry a separate charge.

Pools and wellness

Viking Mira carries two distinct pool experiences and a full Nordic Spa, all included in the cruise fare for entry.

The main pool is heated and topped with a retractable roof — open for swimming in any weather, with a large poolside screen for evening films. The Infinity Pool is described as one of the first of its kind at sea: floor-to-ceiling windows dissolve the boundary between ship and ocean, and a hot tub and teak surround complete the picture. The Nordic Spa is an open wellness oasis — access is complimentary, though individual treatments are charged separately. The adjacent Fitness Centre provides treadmills, ellipticals, exercise bikes and free-weight space, with most use included in your fare. The Hair Salon rounds out the wellness offering with styling services charged individually.

Cabins and suites on Viking Mira

Viking Mira's accommodation spans several grades, from veranda staterooms through to a full penthouse suite. Full deck plans are available on the Viking Mira cabins and deck plans page.

The Owner's Suite (OS) is the ship's largest accommodation at 134.5 m², configured as a true multi-room penthouse. It includes a separate bedroom, a living room, dining for six, a private library and an ocean-view dry sauna — sleeping up to three guests.

The Explorer Suite (ES2) measures 75.1 m² and is arranged across two rooms — a separate living area and a dining area seating four — giving two guests a genuinely apartment-like feel at sea.

The Penthouse Veranda Stateroom (PV) is the largest veranda stateroom on board at 33.4 m², including its private outdoor space, and sleeps two. It offers significantly more room than a standard veranda cabin for guests who want extra space without committing to a full suite.

Whatever grade you choose, Cruise1st's Australian cruise experts can walk you through the options, fare inclusions and what each cabin actually looks like in practice — call us seven days a week before you book.

Where Viking Mira sails

Viking Mira's programme covers five broad regions, with the Mediterranean and Transatlantic routes making up the majority of the sailing calendar.

In the Mediterranean, she calls across the Western Mediterranean and Eastern Mediterranean — with departures from Barcelona, Rome (Civitavecchia), Athens (Piraeus), Venice and Istanbul. If you're planning around a specific port, browse cruises from Barcelona, cruises from Civitavecchia (Rome) or cruises from Venice to see every option.

Transatlantic crossings represent the single largest slice of the sailing calendar — see the full range on our Transatlantic cruises page. Norway itineraries depart from Bergen, and Arctic sailings use Reykjavik as a gateway. Portugal sailings round out the programme, with Lisbon as the key port.

For a search you can book from right now, the Mediterranean Cruises 2027 and All Inclusive Mediterranean Cruises 2027 pages show live availability and pricing. There are also Mediterranean cruise deals and offers updated regularly if budget is a priority.

Why book Viking Mira with Cruise1st

Every Viking Mira sailing in our programme departs from a European port — Barcelona, Athens, Rome, Venice, Bergen, Lisbon, Istanbul, Reykjavik or Greenwich.

Our Best Price Guarantee means you won't find the same sailing cheaper elsewhere through us. And because our Australian cruise experts are available seven days a week, you can talk through your options before you commit — not just fill in a form and wait.
