The Viking 34 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a raised reverse transom, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed swept Peterson-style fin keel. It displaces 8,900 lb (4,037 kg) and carries 4,500 lb (2,041 kg) of ballast.[1]

The boat has a draft of 6.00 ft (1.83 m) with the standard keel fitted.[1]

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 129 with a high of 132 and low of 126. It has a hull speed of 6.98 kn (12.93 km/h).[5]
