Viking Cruises Took Delivery of VIKING VESTA

Outlook to Their Further Newbuilds

On June 26, the Fincantieri shipyard in Ancona, Italy, delivered the newest cruise ship for Viking Cruises: the VIKING VESTA (IMO 9852444). The ship has 499 cabins and space for 998 passengers.

Viking Cruises are thus continuing the expansion of their ocean-going fleet. The next ships in the Venice class are already under construction. The VIKING MIRA (IMO 9852456) is scheduled to enter service in 2026. She will be followed by the VIKING LIBRA (IMO 9852468), which is scheduled for delivery at the end of 2026, and the VIKING ASTREA (IMO 9852470) the following year. The latter two are to be equipped with modern hydrogen propulsion.

Viking Cruises plan to put 10 more ocean-going cruise ships into operation by 2031.
