Viking Lyra

Destination-heavy ocean voyages on mid-size ships with daily lectures and a tour in each port, for curious travelers who prefer quiet evenings to casinos and production shows.

• Enrichment over nightlife: No casinos or big production shows; days center on lectures, port talks and cultural performances, and guests must be 18+.
• Sister ships, all verandas: Ocean ships are closely related sister designs with all-veranda staterooms; the newest carry 998 guests.

Worth knowing: Gratuities are included in some markets but extra in others such as the US; check your booking region's inclusions before comparing prices.

Style notes describe Viking Cruises in general, not this ship specifically.
