Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri has announced the signing of a contract for the construction of two additional ocean cruise ships for Viking Cruises.
The new ships will be sister vessels to those ordered last year. Deliveries are scheduled for mid 2016 and early 2017. The contract will be effective subject to financing and other customary closing conditions.
The new contract reinforces the commercial relationship between Viking and Fincantieri.
According to the shipyard, the duo are discussing additional high-profile joint projects in other cruise segments to further enlarge the scope of the partnership.
