Mighty Cruise Ships: Viking Sea | Season 2 Episode 2 (Full Episode) | MIGHTY

Editorial Summary

The Viking Sea, a modern explorer designed to navigate both vast oceans and narrow coastal waterways, embarks on a fourteen day journey from England to Norway. The vessel is built to accommodate 930 guests and focuses on scenery, culture, and relaxation rather than traditional cruise amenities like casinos or discos. Throughout the voyage, the crew faces various operational challenges, including a fueling delay in Herange that forces the captain to manage limited fuel reserves and the necessity of disconnecting antennas to pass under the Roarvik Bridge. The itinerary follows ancient Viking trading routes under the midnight sun, including stops in Edinburgh, the Shetland Islands, and various Norwegian fjords. Key highlights include the crossing of the Arctic Circle, a precision docking maneuver in the tight waters of Lerwick, and a highly technical navigation through the narrow Troll Fjord. The cruise concludes in Bergen after providing passengers with immersive experiences such as visiting Shetland ponies, kayaking, and enjoying local seafood. The captain and crew work to establish seamless operations for the brand new ship as it transitions from river cruising to the high seas.
