Viking Ocean Cruises has a new ship.

The cruise line’s Viking Sky made its maiden voyage from Rome’s Civitavecchia port to Barcelona.

Viking Sky, which is the company’s third ship, will finish out the year sailing itineraries in the Americas and the Caribbean.

“As we officially welcome our third ship to the fleet, it is a proud moment for the entire Viking family. We continue to see a positive response from our guests and the industry, which makes us confident in our future growth,” said Torstein Hagen, Chairman of Viking Cruises. “We started in the cruise business 20 years ago, and our philosophy is still the same – we do not try to be everything to everyone. We are a destination-oriented small ship cruise line, and as we prepare to introduce a fourth ocean ship by the end of 2017, we look forward to introducing even more guests to The Viking Way of exploration.”

The ship has a total of 465 cabins and a max accommodation of 930 passengers.

Viking is already readying its fourth ship, Viking Sun, set for delivery in November.
