Viking has taken delivery of its newest ocean ship, Viking Saturn.
The delivery ceremony took place on Wednesday (26 April) when the ship was presented at Fincantieri’s shipyard in Ancona, Italy.
The vessel will be officially named in New York on 6 June by its godmother, Ann Ziff, chair of the Metropolitan Opera.
Following the naming ceremony, the ship will spend its inaugural summer sailing two new voyages: Iconic Iceland, Greenland and Canada, between New York and Reykjavik; and Iceland and Norway’s Arctic Explorer, between Reykjavik and Bergen.
"We are very proud to welcome the newest sister ship to our award-winning ocean fleet," said Torstein Hagen, chair of Viking.
