Fincantieri is pleased to announce the successful delivery of the Viking Vela, the first vessel in a new series of cruise ships being built for Viking. The delivery took place today at the Ancona shipyard, marking another significant milestone in the long-standing partnership between the two companies.
The Viking Vela is a small-sized cruise ship with a gross tonnage of approximately 54,300 tons. It features 499 cabins and can accommodate 998 passengers. This delivery brings the total number of ships handed over by Fincantieri to Viking to thirteen, including two expedition units constructed by Fincantieri’s subsidiary, Vard.
The long-standing partnership between Fincantieri and Viking continues to thrive. With additional orders placed and recent contracts signed, the collaboration now encompasses 26 ships. The Viking Vela, in particular, is built in full compliance with the latest environmental regulations, incorporating advanced engines and systems designed to minimise exhaust emissions. These vessels meet the industry’s most stringent environmental standards, promoting best practices for sustainable cruise tourism.
