✨'Twas the night before Christmas... when Viking Vela visited Valletta Cruise Port on her first call. The all-veranda ship for just 998 guests with her understated elegance is at Valletta Cruise Port on her maiden call today, prior to repositioning to Norway and the Netherlands on her 'In Search of the Northern Lights' itinerary offering guests opportunities to witness the Aurora Borealis. As the eleventh in a series of ships that started with the Viking Star in 2015, she was built at Fincantieri’s Ancona shipyard in Central Italy. Slightly larger than its predecessors, the luxury vessel is 10 meters longer and two meters wider than her sister ships. Continuing its fleet expansion, Viking is set to take delivery of nine new oceangoing cruise ships through 2030. Following the Vela, the company is welcoming the Viking Vesta in 2025 and the Viking Mira in 2026. #vikingvela #vikingcruises #vallettacruiseport #globalportsholding #maidencall #malta #christmaseve
