Viking marked the company’s 25th anniversary on 30 September with a historic celebration in Amsterdam.

Viking has opened bookings and revealed deployment details of a selection of ocean ships between September 2021 and May 2022, including the return of Viking Orion to her seasonal Sydney and Auckland home ports between December 2021 and March 2022 – her fourth consecutive season based down under.

Viking has taken delivery of Viking Jupiter, the company’s sixth ocean ship. A delivery ceremony took place on the morning of Thursday 7 February 2019, when the ship was presented at Fincantieri’s shipyard in Ancona, Italy.

Viking Jupiter – a sister ship to the 465-stateroom Viking Star, Viking Sea, Viking Sky, Viking Sun and, debuting in June, Viking Orion – will officially make Viking the largest small ship ocean cruise line in the industry, just four years after its launch into ocean sailings.
