Stop me if you've heard this one before. Fincantieri has launched another Viking ship. This one, Viking Sun, is the fourth in the series of six ordered, and it was floated today at Fincantieri's Ancona yard.

The complete story appeared in the December 15 edition of Cruise News Daily. 

With Four You Get the World

Viking Ocean Cruises is just about to christen their second ship, but today they already announced what their fourth ship would do for its inaugural cruise. Viking Sun is going to sail a 141-day world cruise.

It will be Viking’s first-ever world cruise. The ship will sail westward from Miami and end in London almost five months later, and along the way it will visit five continents, 35 countries and 66 ports. In 12 of those ports it will spend the night.
