VIKING SUN against its type
Built in 2017, it is 11 years newer than the median passenger ship on this register, which was built in 2006 (127 vessels with a known build year). At 47,800 gross tonnage it is larger than 50% of the other 117 passenger ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 12 passenger ships here under the Norway flag, 9.1% of the 132 on the register.

The returns for 2018–2020 all give Bergen as port of registry.
Its 16,411 t of CO₂ for 2020 is 4.6 times the median of 3,554 t among the 30 passenger ships on this register that reported for 2020. Per nautical mile it emitted 1,690.1 kg CO₂, 2.7 times the type median of 627.3 kg. It logged 3,030 hours at sea against a median of 741 hours for its type that year. 42.4% of its 2020 emissions were at berth; the median for passenger ships was 21.8%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (24,630 t) and the lowest 2020 (16,411 t). The one sister ship listed below with a 2020 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2020 was 33.4% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2019 to 2020, emissions fell 30.6% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 101.2%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
