Viking’s newest ocean ship was ‘floated out’ on Thursday (July 15) during a traditional ceremony at the Fincantieri’s shipyard in Italy.
It marks a major construction milestone and the first time the ship has touched water. Following a two-day process that will set Viking Mars afloat, it will be moved to a nearby outfitting dock for final construction and interior build-out.
Viking Mars, which is scheduled to debut in early 2022, will officially be named by its ceremonial godmother, Lady Fiona Carnarvon, the eighth Countess of Carnarvon.
The maiden season will feature itineraries in the Mediterranean and northern Europe before a series of voyages in Asia and Australia.
