Citing “record levels of consumer interest”,
Viking River Cruises has further boosted the
number of new Viking Longships that it will
launch next year from 12 to now total 14.
The latest addition means that by the end of
next year, the line will have launched 30 ships
over the course of a three year period.
Viking River Cruises chairman Torstein Hagen
said the company was working hard to try and
match supply with passenger demand.
“More than ever, travelers want experiences
that bring them closer to the destination,
which is why we continue to design ships and
itineraries with destinations and enrichment as
the focus,” Hagen said.
Earlier this year, Viking set a Guinness World
Record by simultaneously christening ten new
Longships in ceremonies around the world in a
single day (CW 21 Mar).
