It's the turn of a new kid, Viking Sky, to point its bow at the Quai de France, Thursday, May 2 from 08:00 a.m. to 20:00 p.m. Owned by the Viking Ocean Cruises company, this luxurious ship will make its first French stop in Cherbourg. On board, no fewer than 560 cruise passengers, mostly Americans, some of whom left the port of Singapore on March 13. An incredible itinerary that has already allowed them to visit more than twenty ports around the world!

 

Like an air of Normandy in the corridors of the different ships in the Viking Ocean Cruises fleet. Indeed, it will not be surprising to find reproductions of scenes from the famous Bayeux Tapestry, on board these cruise ships, thus reminding passengers of the fabulous… Viking history!

Boat features

Le Viking Sky is the third ocean liner built for Viking Ocean Cruises. Originally ordered as Viking Sea, he was eventually baptized as Viking Sky, exchanging names with one of its sisterships due to the delay in its shipyard. © Liners & Merchant Marine Association
