Viking has a fleet of small, all-veranda, state-of-the-art ocean ships. Each sister ship carries fewer than 1,000 guests and is engineered at a scale that allows direct access into most ports. 

Fincantieri and Viking have announced the delivery of the new cruise ship, the “Viking Mira”, a new cruise ship under construction for Viking, which was launched today at the Ancona shipyard. The ship is scheduled to debut in spring 2026, offering itineraries in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe. The ceremony, which marks the ship’s transition to the final outfitting phase, was attended by Gilberto Tobaldi, Director of the Ancona Shipyard, and Gastone Lazzari, New Building Site Team Manager for Viking
