Sixth Viking ocean ship to be named Jupiter
Viking Cruises has unveiled the name for its sixth ocean ship, which joins the fleet next year.
Keeping the mostly celestial theme of previous ships it will be named Viking Jupiter.
It will be similar in design to the other five, which includes the Viking Star, Sky, and Orion.
Jupiter can accommodate 930 passengers and will kick off on itineraries in Northern Europe and the Mediterranean from February 2019.
Four additional ships are also on order for delivery beginning in 2021 which will take its fleet to 10 ships.
The announcement was made by chairman Torstein Hagen as another of its ships in service, the Viking Sun, made its inaugural call at Los Angeles on its first world voyage, which lasts 141 days.
