Viking Ocean Cruises, the six-month-old ocean-cruising wing of Viking River Cruises, will build two more 930-passenger ships.
The company’s first vessel, the Viking Star, was christened and entered service in May and a second and third ship—the Viking Sky and Viking Sea—are planned for 2016 and 2017. The fourth and fifth ships for the company will be built by Italian shipyard Fincantieri and delivered in mid-2018 and late 2020.
