CRUISIN' WITH TED "Together we make vacation memories that last a lifetime."
Viking Ocean's Viking Sky! (Stay Tuned For Our Ship Visit Sunday, Dec 17, 2017, Port Of Miami Fl)
On June 22, 2017,Viking christened their third ocean vessel, the 930-guest Viking Sky, during a public celebration in Tromsø, Norway.
Located above the Arctic Circle on Norway’s northwest coast, Tromsø is a popular destination for viewing the Northern Lights—and a key port of call on the cruise line's popular Into the Midnight Sun itinerary, which sails between Bergen and London, allowing guests to explore the northernmost reaches of Scandinavia.
As reported by Viking: “This is a special time of year in Norway—these are the days of the Midnight Sun and the perfect backdrop for a celebration. All of our ships proudly carry the Norwegian flag, so it is an especially proud day to officially welcome our new ship in Tromsø, the Arctic capital of the world” said Torstein Hagen, Chairman of Viking Cruises. “Vikings were explorers, and our ships are built with their spirit of exploration in mind. We design every aspect of our ships and cruises so that our guests can spend more time immersed in their destination. Scandinavia is Viking territory, but as we continue to expand our fleet, we also look forward to introducing new travelers to the Viking way of travel around the world.”
The Viking Sky, like all Viking Ocean Ships continues to over-achieve in delighting seasoned cruisers. Stay tuned for important updates and news including our Sunday, Dec 17, 2017 tour of this amazing vessel.
