Excellent question! The answer is yes, but with important caveats and conditions.
On Viking Ocean Cruises and Viking River Cruises, the standard stateroom configuration is designed for two people. However, there are specific ways to accommodate a third person, primarily in certain cabin categories and with age restrictions.
Here’s a detailed breakdown:
1. Viking Ocean Cruises
- Designated Staterooms: Only a limited number of specific stateroom categories can accommodate a third guest. These are typically:
- Explorer Suites (ES)
- Penthouse Junior Suites (PJ)
- Penthouse Veranda Staterooms (PV)
- Deluxe Veranda Staterooms (DV)
- Not all staterooms in these categories have the third berth, so you must book one that is specifically designated for triple occupancy.
- The Third Berth: The third sleeping space is almost always a convertible sofa bed or a pullman-style bed that folds down from the wall or ceiling. It is not a rollaway bed brought into the room.
- Age Restriction: The third guest must be 18 years of age or older on the day of embarkation. Viking Ocean Cruises does not accommodate children under 18, so a third person cannot be a minor.
- Space Consideration: The staterooms are designed for two adults in comfort. Adding a third adult will make the living space quite tight, especially when the sofa bed is unfolded.
