New Viknes S35 Panorama wheelhouse cruiser shown at Southampton International Boat Show

The Viknes S35 Panorama is a new model for 2026 from Norwegian boatbuilder Viknes, shown at Southampton International Boat Show by Fine Design Marine. Viknes describes the S35 Panorama as the latest evolution of its semi-displacement cruiser line, built for Northern waters and long seasons, and aimed at owners who want genuine seagoing capability without giving up everyday comfort.

Central to the model is its Panorama roofline and expansive glazing, which Fine Design Marine says fills the saloon with natural light. Sliding doors and an electric roof are designed to open the boat up on warm days, while the interior is finished to a bright, contemporary look that the company says sets it apart from a more traditional wheelhouse cruiser. They describe the S35 Panorama as pairing a tough, seaworthy hull with that modern interior, positioning it as a boat for genuine use on the water rather than one designed to be admired at the dock.

Underway, the S35 Panorama carries the ride the brand’s boats are known for: solid, predictable and quiet. The company positions the model for a range of use, from Channel crossings and fjord exploration to more relaxed coastal cruising, saying it is designed to give owners confidence across different conditions.

Viknes markets the S35 Panorama at owners who want a capable semi-displacement cruiser without compromising on comfort or finish, combining a seaworthy hull with an interior the company says feels more like a modern living space than a conventional wheelhouse cruiser’s cabin.
