Viking Sjofn is a 2026-launched, 5,000-gross-ton ship measuring 132 meters in length and 29 meters in beam, designed for an intimate voyage of discovery with a capacity of 190 guests and a dedicated crew of 53, spread across four decks and 95 comfortable cabins. The ship's name nods to Sjöfn, the Norse goddess of love and romance, inviting guests to romantic adventures and meaningful connections as they sail along Nordic shores. Onboard, guests enjoy meticulously crafted experiences that highlight the best of Viking travel: Nordic-inspired dining and hands-on culinary demonstrations, evening storytelling that evokes Norse myth, and cultural workshops; a serene Nordic spa with sauna, steam room, and vitality pool; a well-equipped fitness center, library, and sundeck with a pool for relaxed days at sea. For explorers, shore excursions are seamlessly integrated with onboard programs, offering fjord sails, museums, and coastal tastings, while the ship's intimate ambiance—coupled with attentive 53-strong crew—ensures every moment feels special. Power is provided via US 2-pin 110V and EU 2-pin 220V outlets, though adapters are not supplied, so guests should come prepared to stay charged as they immerse themselves in the romance and legend that Sjöfn embodies.
