Any photos from rear facing cabins

[Papadog]

We will be on the Orion this coming may and have booked a rear facing cabin #3096, we were just wondering about the direction of the bed, and we also were told the balcony is larger, is that true. Is there an overhang on top of our balcony.We would appreciate any info if possible.

Thank you

First photo is  from our aft balcony when in Bermuda in July.  The second is from balcony when we were in Malta in October.

No overhang. You can look at your ship’s deck plan on Viking’s website. This one is for Mars, but they’re all the same: https://www.vikingcruises.com/oceans/ships/viking-mars.html

 

We had a rear-facing room; the bed faced toward the rear of the ship. Are you asking for a photo of the room, or photos taken from the balcony? 
 

I’ve never heard of different-sized balconies depending on which direction the rooms face. I believe balcony size is dependent only on room size.

The deck plan appears to make the balcony look a little more shallow than other DVs but from the photo below it appears it might be a hair deeper, but not much.  
 

If the deck plan is correct, the aft facing rooms appear to be a hair wider. I guess that is how the room is rearranged to allow for the bed to face aft also. That was news to me.

We had 5110 once, and my recollection is that it was laid out just like starboard- and port- facing rooms.  The bed was parallel to the veranda, meaning it was facing port, not aft.

Typo

Maybe the Explorer’s suites bed face aft , but not the DV 1. I have been in two of them , 4123 and 5111 and bed faces wall with tv .

 Agree with Azulann

Search on Youtube for Viking Sky Stateroom Cabin 4123 - that's next door on the deck above.

Any photos of the balcony and room layout would be appreciated, Thanks

I haven’t been able to find any really good ones or a YouTube other than the mentioned one. Presuming our cruise in October isn’t canceled, I will try to take some good ones and perhaps a video also to show 5111 which we just got upgraded to from a DV2 on deck 6. Looking forward to the wake views…but perhaps not the long walk to the launderette 😂

Thanks! ! know the view will be great what I would like to see is the size of the balcony-it looks larger (deeper) than the standard ones.

Yes!  I am very intrigued with the size of the balcony due to how the railing seems to tilt inward.  Looking forward to seeing your pics.  🙂

Very nice.  Thanks for posting this.

We were in cabin 5111 last July on the Bermuda cruise.  Here are a few photos I took of the cabin and veranda.  We very much enjoyed this cabin, and I did get the feeling the aft veranda was a bit deeper than others.  
The one photo is of the Explorer Suite Veranda next door.  Very spacious.

We had 5111 on the Sky on our Norway/Iceland trip in '19. Love the perspective while sailing the fjords.
