Innovative Design Features
The Viking 68 Enclosed Bridge showcases decades of industry-leading design and development. The climate-controlled command center is a key feature that ensures captains and owners are protected from the elements. This center is equipped with a wraparound windshield, providing excellent sightlines in all directions, which is crucial for safe navigation. The raised helm console mirrors the shape of the windshield, holding all necessary electronics components and engine controls. The yacht employs Viking’s Independent Programmable Electro-hydraulic Rudder (VIPER) system for precise steering. Using black Ultraleather surfaces and a visor, glare is effectively reduced, enhancing visibility.
Luxurious Interior
Inside the Viking 68 Enclosed Bridge, luxury meets functionality. The enclosed bridge doubles as a second salon—a private retreat that includes an L-shaped lounge, refrigerator, walnut cocktail table, and an entertainment center with a 24-inch TV and stereo. The interiors are adorned with walnut hardwoods and cabinetry, lending warmth and an open, airy feel, enhanced by natural light through hull-side windows. The Viking 68 also features a high-gloss walnut finish throughout, adding an element of sophistication. A unique feature is the custom polished stainless steel spiral staircase, providing access between the main deck salon and the enclosed bridge.
Functional Versatility
The Viking 68 Enclosed Bridge boasts a variety of functional features aimed at versatility and user convenience. It includes a weatherproof exterior door that leads to an aft docking station. This station is pod-style, complete with single-lever controls and engine start/stop switches. For added convenience, the aft deck features a molded fiberglass seat with removable cushions and storage underneath. The 68 Convertible in both open and enclosed bridge models shares a salon, island galley, and a four-stateroom layout, ensuring comfort and luxury for guests.
