Viking Mars Naming Ceremony | Vessels | Viking

On May 17th, 2022, Norwegian Constitution Day, Viking named its newest identical ocean ship, the Viking Mars, during a private ceremony in Valletta, Malta. As part of the event, the ship’s ceremonial godmother Lady Fiona Carnarvon, the Countess of Carnarvon, offered a blessing of good fortune and safe sailing for the ship—a naval tradition that dates back thousands of years. _____________________________________________ Connect with Viking: • Subscribe to Viking on YouTube: https://explore.viking.com/YouTube • Facebook: https://explore.viking.com/Facebook • Instagram: https://explore.viking.com/Instagram • X: https://explore.viking.com/X Viking provides destination-focused voyages on oceans, rivers and lakes around the world: • River Voyages: https://explore.viking.com/Rivers • Ocean Voyages: https://explore.viking.com/Oceans • Expeditions: https://explore.viking.com/Expeditions
