    This ship is no longer sold from Quebec

    Viking Sun no longer appears on the ocean fleet list Viking publishes, and our inventory shows zero departure dates. The hull nonetheless still sails, under another name and for another clientele.

    Here is the established chronology. Delivered in September 2017, the ship was transferred in 2021 to a Sino-Norwegian joint venture in which Viking is a party, reflagged to China and renamed. In March 2026 it took back the Viking livery as Viking Yi Dun under a Norwegian flag, with Mediterranean itineraries aimed at a Chinese-speaking clientele, signage and service in Mandarin.

    Writing that it was sold would be inaccurate: it never left the line's orbit. Writing that it was withdrawn from service would be equally wrong. The correct formulation is this: it sails, but not for you.

    What it was, and what remains

    Two hundred and twenty-eight metres, 930 guests originally in 465 cabins all fitted with a veranda. It shared its plan with nine other hulls, and those nine remain in the catalogue.

    If you were after this particular ship, Viking Saturn and Viking Neptune are its exact sisters. If what you really wanted was a world cruise or a long itinerary, speak to an advisor: Viking Vela belongs to a newer and larger series, and Viking Star remains the original hull of the line.

    Arranging the departure

    An ocean cruise is built around the air ticket. Almost always a connection, preferably a hotel night before embarkation, and a margin that accounts for the season. A file built properly at the start avoids half the unpleasant surprises.

    Voyages AquaTerra holds a Quebec travel agent licence. Your payments move through a trust account and the Compensation Fund for Customers of Travel Agents protects your file.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    No, not from Quebec. The ship no longer appears on the ocean fleet list Viking publishes and our inventory shows zero departure dates.
    That would be inaccurate. It was transferred in 2021 to a Sino-Norwegian joint venture in which Viking is a party, then took back the Viking livery in March 2026 under a new name. It never left the line's orbit.
    As Viking Yi Dun since March 2026, under a Norwegian flag. It previously carried a Chinese name during its period under Chinese flag.
    Because the product is aimed at a Chinese-speaking clientele: signage and service are in Mandarin, and the itineraries are marketed in that market. It is not a prohibition, it is a mismatch.
    No. It has been sailing the Mediterranean since the summer of 2026. A page saying it was withdrawn would be false, as would a page saying it was sold.
    Nine hundred and thirty guests in 465 cabins originally, all with a private veranda. One third-party database now lists 928 guests in its current configuration.
    In September 2017, at the Fincantieri yard in Ancona. It is the fourth unit of the series opened in 2015, and the only one no longer in the North American catalogue.
    Yes, nine strictly identical hulls remain in the catalogue. Viking itself describes its ocean ships as identical sister ships. An advisor will point you to the one whose itinerary matches your plan.
    Because the name still circulates in searches and old brochures. A reader looking for this ship deserves an exact answer rather than an empty page or a silent redirect.
    It did serve on long itineraries. If that kind of voyage is what interests you, tell your advisor: long itineraries still exist in the fleet, on other hulls.
    Nothing suggests it and we will not assume it. The product announced in 2026 targets the Chinese-speaking market. This page will be revisited if the situation changes.
    The best indicator remains the real calendar. We measure the departures shown on our public pages, and a ship at zero departures across several measurements deserves a check with the line.
    In Quebec, money paid to a licensed agency moves through a trust account and the Compensation Fund for Customers of Travel Agents applies. Your advisor will explain exactly what that covers.
    Yes. We measure the inventory regularly and this page is reviewed when the facts move. Your advisor can tell you the date of the last check.
    An advisor at Voyages AquaTerra. The fleet holds several identical hulls, and the choice turns on itinerary and season rather than on the ship itself.
