Viking Sea Delivered
Viking Sea, the second of six cruise ships Viking Ocean Cruises has ordered from Fincantieri, has been delivered at the shipyard in Ancona.
Viking Sea, along with its sister ships, is placed in the small cruise ship segment. With a gross tonnage of about 47,800 tons, it has 465 cabins with accommodation for 930 passengers, with a total capacity of over 1,400 people, including the crew.
The ship was designed by experienced naval architects and engineers, including an interior design team of London-based SMC Design, and Los Angeles-based Rottet Studios. The resulting Viking Sea is a vessel of modern design with Scandinavian inspiration featuring sophisticated elegance. In addition to the all-veranda staterooms, the ship also has spacious suites with sweeping views, two pools, one of which is an infinity pool off the stern, and a spa designed according to the wellness philosophy of the Scandinavian tradition, with a sauna and a snow grotto.
The Viking Ocean Cruises units are all built according to the latest navigation regulations and equipped with the most modern safety systems, including the ‘safe return to port’. Furthermore, they feature the most advanced technologies for energy savings and for meeting the strictest environmental regulations with energy-efficient hybrid engines and an exhaust gas cleaning system.
The first of the series, Viking Star, was delivered in spring 2015 from the shipyard in Marghera, while Viking Sky is scheduled for delivery in February 2017.
