Rare OneSixtyToOne Posted August 9, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 9, 2022 We’re considering trying an aft cabin on our next trip (4123 Viking Sky). Anyone have any experience with the x100 series DV1s above the fantail? Noise? View? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wavetripper Posted August 9, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 9, 2022 We experienced #4123 on Viking Star we really enjoyed this view, it was so nice looking back onto the ocean from the balcony and the ships wake. It was as quiet as a ship can be, and peaceful, interesting enough we had a swallow visit us migrating north in spring taking a break on our balcony, it was so cool to see. We let it take its time to rest before it carried on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed looking at the ship's wake from the infinity pool area on our last trip so I thought I'd give it a try. I also thought the view leaving port would be great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had the starboard stern Explorer suite on Venus for the Homelands cruise this past May mist was an extraordinary experience, and we have chosen the same location for the Spain-Iceland trip next spring. Absolutely no unpleasant noise, an incredible view and peaceful experience under way. If I had the choice I would never again choose a ‘side’ cabin. The stern is where one wants to be. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Azulann Posted August 10, 2022 #5 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Had. cabin 4123 on the Viking Orion for our Bermuda cruise. It has the best views from balcony. Very quiet, at the end of the hallway.. And the bartenders loved our number"4123" easy to remember. We had the beverage package!😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Vineyard View Posted August 13, 2022 #12 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) Great video. Thank you. Would you say that the balcony was different than a side DV1 balcony in depth or width? Edited August 13, 2022 by Vineyard View Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you say that the balcony was different than a side DV1 balcony in depth or width? This was my first Viking cruise, so can't answer your question first-hand. Based on what I'd read on CC, the depth & width are the same as the rest of DV and V cabins. You'll get a bit more "leg room" as the bottom of the glass railing angles out, creating the illusion of a deeper balcony. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have sailed in PV3 in the past so weighing out those two options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are considering DV1 based on the view, that'd be largely dependent on the itinerary. I think any of the Norwegian fjords and Alaska would be no brainers for an aft cabin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare WNcruiser Posted August 30, 2022 #17 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Does anyone have video or pictures of any Aft verandas? I can’t find anything on Google or YouTube. Just curious to see the difference between a regular DV as well as the balcony size. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OneSixtyToOne Posted August 30, 2022 Author #18 Share Posted August 30, 2022 DVs are all the same size. As mentioned in this thread the railing angles out so the veranda appears to have more leg room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare WanderingBrit Posted November 9, 2022 #21 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I'll share my time lapse of sailing into Bermuda from aft facing ES, which was a lovely place to be 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
