| Viking Sky’s maiden voyage

VIKING Ocean Cruises’ Viking Sky has set sail on its maiden voyage, departing from Rome’s Civitavecchia port to Barcelona.

The third ship in Viking’s Ocean Cruises’ fleet carries 930 passengers and is nearly identical to sister ships Viking Star and Viking Sea.

The 47,800 tonne ship Viking Sky begins her season by sailing throughout the Western and Eastern Mediterranean, before making her way to be officially christened under Norway’s midnight sun on 22 Jun in Troms as a nod to Viking’s Norwegian heritage.

She will then spend the European summer sailing Scandinavian and Baltic itineraries before crossing the Atlantic in Sep, and finishing the year in the Americas and the Caribbean.
