MV Viking Mars (2022-built) is the 8th in a 10-unit series of identical cruise ships built for Viking OCEAN between 2015-2027 (fleet). Vessel design was specifically developed for Viking's revolutionary "small ship travel" all-inclusive vacation concept that combines the "excursions-inclusive river cruising" experience with "affordable luxury" sea vacation product.

Viking Mars cruise ship deck plan shows a total of 464 staterooms for 928 passengers served by 470 crew/staff, 10 decks (of which 6 with passenger cabins), 2 swimming pools (1 infinity pool, 1 covered with retractable roof), 2 Jacuzzi hot tubs, 6 elevators (2 of which are panoramic /with glass walls). This is an adults-only ship (min age requirement 16 yo) without dedicated kids facilities or programs.

This is one of the world's cruisers (following Cunard's liner RMS Queen Mary 2) with an onboard planetarium (named "Explorers' Dome"). The theatre-like venue is circular and has capacity 26 seats. It uses the latest video technology to show constellations and other space-related videos. The Dome is located forward on top-deck (facing the Explorers' Lounge).

On all Viking Mars decks with cabins, there is a launderette (free of charge passenger-use laundromats). These are self-service laundry rooms equipped with ironing boards, washers and dryers. Detergent is provided (also complimentary).

Like the sisterships, Viking Mars offers an intimate boutique hotel-like feel with its signature decor (Scandinavian-themed), luxury fabrics, spacious lounges with classy leather furniture, gourmet cuisine, unique art collection. Unlike most new cruise ships, all Viking OCEAN boats lack Casino (gambling lounge and bar).

Among those are the energy-saving hybrid engines (diesel generators and gas turbines), optimized hulls and bulbous bows for max fuel efficiency. Viking OCEAN's ship design also features the common for the company's Longships/riverboats solar panels (installed on the Magradome pool cover) additionally minimizing the exhaust pollution.
