AS well as the unveiling of the new Viking expedition product (see p1), the huge Viking Cruises event in Los Angeles overnight featured a formal christening ceremony for Viking Jupiter.
The sixth vessel in the Viking fleet, Jupiter is currently sailing near the Falkland Islands, with a lavish dinner at the Beverly Hilton including a live link to the ship.
The vessel’s naming ceremony was originally scheduled for Jun last year (CW 08 Feb 2019).
In Los Angeles last night Jupiter’s Godmother Sissel Kyrkjebo, a popular Norwegian singer and the favourite artist of Viking chairman Torstein Hagen’s late mother, pronounced the formal blessing before symbolically cutting a ribbon using a gigantic Viking axe – appropriately provided by a Viking in-person who earlier in the night caught up with Viking’s PR manager Anna Bathgate and MD Australasia Michelle Black (pictured).
