Viking Cruises Notes Float Out Of Its Newest Ocean Ship

Viking Cruises recently announced its newest ocean vessel – the 930-guest Viking Neptune – was “floated out,” marking a major construction milestone and the first time the ship has touched water. Set to debut in November 2022, the Viking Neptune will spend her maiden season sailing itineraries in the Mediterranean before embarking on the company’s 2022-2023 Viking World Cruise.  This journey from Fort Lauderdale to London will span 138 days, 28 countries and 57 ports, with overnight stays in 11 cities.

The traditional float out ceremony took place at Fincantieri’s Ancona shipyard and is significant because it denotes a ship moving into its final stage of construction. Following a two-day process that will set Viking Neptune afloat, she will then be moved to a nearby outfitting dock for final construction and interior build-out.
