Viking Ocean Celebrates Float Out of Fourth Ship
Viking Ocean Cruises recently celebrated the float out of its fourth ship – the 930-passenger Viking Sun – marking a major construction milestone, and the first time that the new ship touched water.
The traditional ceremony took place on Dec. 15 at Fincantieri’s Ancona shipyard. Viking Sun will debut in late 2017 and will be marketed to travellers in North America, the U.K., Australia and New Zealand. The ship will begin its maiden season sailing voyages to Cuba and the Caribbean, before embarking on a 141-day World Cruise that spans five continents, 35 countries and 66 ports.
Features of Viking’s ocean ships include: All Veranda Staterooms; Explorer Suites, two-room suites ranging from 757 to 1,163 sq. ft.; Two Pool Choices, in addition to the main pool with a retractable roof permitting any-season swimming, the ship features a first-of-its-kind glass-backed Infinity Pool cantilevered off the stern; and the LivNordic Spa.
