She sailed from Venice to Enderby Wharf on the River Thames at Greenwich, London, England, where on 5 May 2016 she became the largest vessel named in London. She will sail around Scandinavia, the Baltic and across the Mediterranean during her maiden season.[4] Viking Sea will have two sister ships, Viking Star and Viking Sky.[5]
A car carrier registered in Singapore shares the name Viking Sea.[6]
