Viking Ocean Cruises, the privately owned Switzerland based cruise shipping company, appears to have placed an order with Fincantieri in Italy for a fourth cruise ship newbuilding, acording to an equipment supplier.
"Scanship Holding ASA has through its subsidiary Scanship AS entered into a contract with the Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri for a total clean ship system delivery to Viking Ocean Cruises newbuild," Scanship said.
"This is the fourth total clean ship system we will be delivering to Fincantieri for the Viking Ocean Cruises. From next year on until 2017, these ocean-going liners will enter service with the most advanced systems to date for waste management and wastewater purification. We are excited to be aboard, and to set sail in the tradition of real Viking exploration. This time around the voyage
will be in an environmental sustainable way", said Henrik Badin, CEO of Scanship.
Viking Ocean Cruises' first three ships will be called Viking Star, Viking Sea and Viking Sea, respectively.
