The Viking Mira was “floated out” during a ceremony at the Fincantieri shipyard in Ancona in Italy, marking a major construction milestone for the ocean ship.
The ship has a gross tonnage of 54,300 tons, with 499 staterooms that can host 998 guests.
She is scheduled to debut in spring 2026 and will spend her inaugural season sailing itineraries in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe.
“In our view, together with Fincantieri we have created the world’s most elegant fleet of small ocean ships and the float out of the Viking Mira marks yet another important milestone as we continue to grow our fleet,” said Torstein Hagen, Chairman and CEO of Viking.
“As we prepare to welcome her in 2026, we are proud to offer even more opportunities for curious travellers to explore the world in Viking comfort.”
Following a two-day process that will set the Viking Mira afloat, she will then be moved to a nearby outfitting dock for final construction and interior build-out.
