Trieste, 28 March 2015 - 'Viking Star', the first of three cruise ships which Fincantieri is currently building for the company Viking Ocean Cruises, was presented today at Marghera shipyard. The other two sister ships are 'Viking Sea' and 'Viking Sky'.
The ceremony was attended by Torstein Hagen, founder and chairman of Viking Cruises, while Fincantieri was represented, among others, by Giuseppe Bono, CEO.
'Viking Star', like its two sister ships, will be placed in the small cruise ship segment. In fact, with a gross tonnage of about 47,800 tons, it will have 465 cabins with accommodation for 930 passengers.
The ship has been designed by experienced nautical architects and engineers, including an interior design team of London-based SMC Design, and Los Angeles-based Rottet Studios.
