Cruise & Ferry Interiors 2020

7 1 we want Viking Glory to show guests the archipelago in a way they’ve never seen before, so we put great focus on creating large panoramic vistas on all sides of the ship. There will be nothing obstructing guests’ views – the sea will be everywhere. The ship will enable guests to enjoy a slow cruise in comfort with a panoramic view of the environment.” Viking Glory’s interiors were designed in partnership with Koncept Stockholm. “The company started the interior design process by analysing our core values and brand positioning,” says Lindström. “By doing this, we were able to outline which feelings we wanted guests to experience while they are onboard Viking Glory, as well as what forms and functions we could use to cultivate and support these emotions.” Providing guests with the comfortable surroundings to view the spectacle of nature was a central pillar for the whole design approach. “Guests will be able to enjoy a slow cruise experience that helps them to focus on the good things in life when sailing onboard Viking Glory,” explains Lindström. “They’ll be able to appreciate the majestic scenery of the archipelago and great food, while improving their well-being.” Viking Line has been teasing the industry by slowly releasing renderings of the interior spaces, and Lindström says future guests have much to look forward to. “The ship will have a classy interior, inspired by Nordic maritime traditions (archipelagos, local heritage and sustainability), Viking Line’s timeless pioneering spirit (reflected in the mix of modern styles with an overall contemporary feeling that will last a long period of time) and a somewhat folksy flavour with a silver lining (warm, welcoming, caring and playful).” Many of the public spaces onboard Viking Glory will have panoramic windows to give guests uninterrupted views of the ocean “Viking Glory will be a wonderous and unique ship that will delight passengers for many years”
