Owner Experience Review
Across brokerage listings, the 68 SPORT CRUISERfromPRINCESS VIKINGis positioned as a family‑friendly coastal cruiser with genuine overnight capacity. A four‑cabin layout is commonly advertised to sleep up to ten, supported by a roomy salon, a large flybridge, and multiple social zones. Listings also highlight vertical, floor‑to‑ceiling salon windows for daylight and forward views, plus a chef‑friendly galley with a side‑by‑side refrigerator/freezer and a dishwasher.
On the water, the deep‑V hull is repeatedly credited with a soft ride in chop. Typical cruise is reported around 24–26 knots, while maximum speeds range from the high‑20s to the mid‑30s depending on engine fit. Handling comfort is helped by a well‑equipped main helm and an upper station praised for visibility; prop pockets reduce draft for shallower anchorages and backing into tight slips.
Most examples on the market are early‑2000s boats, and these Sport Cruisers were labeled PRINCESS VIKINGfrom 1995–2010 in period listings. Power is typically twin MAN diesels (including D2842 series on many ads). Disclosures of major engine work—complete rebuilds and notes like “only 300 hours since overhaul”—as well as recent paint, surveys, and other refit items are common, so careful review of records is part of a prudent purchase.
Pros and Cons
- Deep‑V hull delivers a notably soft ride in chop.
- Flexible helm choice with strong visibility from the flybridge makes handling comfortable.
- Family‑oriented interior: four cabins sleeping up to 10, bright salon windows, and a chef‑friendly galley with a side‑by‑side refrigerator/freezer and dishwasher.
- Reported top speed varies by engine fit, so not every boat will match the highest advertised figures.
- Many listings cite major MAN engine overhauls; buyers should scrutinize service records and hours since rebuild.
- Most available examples are early‑2000s boats, and refits and cosmetic updates are common considerations.
