VIKING overnight confirmed
orders for two more newbuild
vessels from Italy’s Fincantieri
shipyard, with the expansion set
to see the Viking Ocean Cruises
fleet grow to six vessels.
Like the rest of the Viking fleet,
the new vessels will each carry
930 passengers in 465 all-balcony
staterooms.
Fincantieri has already delivered
the Viking Star, with the Viking
Sea scheduled to arrive next year
followed by Viking Sky in 2017.
The line’s fourth ship hasn’t
been named at this stage.
The new order will see the latest
newbuilds join the Viking fleet in
mid-2018 and at the end of 2020.
As for the previous ships the
interiors will be created by Los
Angeles-based Rottet Studio and
SMC Design of London.
Fincantieri is currently in the
process of designing or building a
total of 14 cruise ships.
