Normally rainy Bergen was bathed in warm spring sunshine for a special ceremony on Viking Cruises’ 47,800-gross-ton Viking Star (built 2015).
The 930-passenger vessel was named in its home port on 17 May 2015. Since then the company has taken delivery of two more €300m ($319m) ships in the same class, the Viking Sea and Viking Sky. All were built at Fincantieri of Italy, where another five firm units and two options are on order.
