Viking 82MY (2017 - 2022) Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Viking Yachts 82 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. The 82 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and full-standing headroom is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Azimut 80 and Princess Y85, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 8 guests in 4 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Riviera 78 Enclosed Bridge Deck impresses with its extensive range of 2,500 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Princess Y78 and Princess Y85 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Princess Y78 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 36 knots and cruising speed of 34 knots.
