Viken Group
Viken Group brings together Tillberg Design of Sweden, Hot Lab, and Thalia Marine — three creative powerhouses with one shared goal: designing the future of life at sea. With studios in Sweden and Italy, and a strong international network, we create innovative designs for yachts, cruise yachts, and cruise ships that strike the right balance between beauty, function, and performance.
What makes us different is the full journey we offer. From exterior and interior yacht design to cruise ships, river and expedition vessels, and even residential projects, we cover it all. We also help brands develop their identity and guest experience while backing it up with serious know-how in naval engineering, project management, inspections, and cost control. In short: we’re just as comfortable sketching bold ideas as we are crunching the numbers to make them happen.
Tillberg Design of Sweden brings more than 60 years of cruise ship design experience, creating guest-focused spaces that tell a story. Hot Lab adds Italian elegance and artistry, while Thalia Marine keeps everything strong, smart, and sustainable with sharp engineering and project oversight.
Together, we’ve also developed Navigator — our streamlined strategy that connects ship size, capacity, investment, and target market with itineraries, marketing, and adaptable design. It saves time, money, and stress while delivering solutions tailored to guests’ tastes, cultures, and expectations.
And because collaboration is at the heart of who we are, we don’t just work well together — we genuinely enjoy spending time together. Every year, the whole group gathers for a kickoff, sharing ideas, inspiration, and a good laugh or two.
At Viken Group, we’re shaping a future at sea that’s innovative, sustainable, and full of life.
