| Viking orders more ships

VIKING Ocean Cruises, sister company of
Viking River Cruises, has signed an agreement
with shipbuilder Fincantieri, for the construction
of two more ocean cruise ships with an option
for another two.
The duo will be twins to those ordered earlier this
year, and will weigh in at 48,000 gross tons.
“This additional order indicates just how strong
early response has been to our ocean cruise
concept which focuses on small ship
destination cruising at a great value.
We are very excited to have Fincantieri as a
partner as we work to bring the destination
back to ocean cruising,” said Torstein Hagen,
Chairman of Viking.
