LATTE is just back from five days aboard Viking Mars having cruised from Cairns to Darwin on this still-mint condition, 930-passenger ship that was launched in May 2022.

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

Viking will deploy its next ocean ship to Australian waters in its debut year, the cruise line has revealed. Viking Mars, the newest and eighth vessel in its class, was floated out for the first time last week at the Ancona shipyard of Fincantieri in Italy.
