The new design – picturing the superstructure of a modern cruise ship within the lines of a traditional Viking longship – combines the company’s modern perspective on the world of ship design with its rich maritime heritage.
'A company’s logo portrays an important message,' comments Knud E Hansen md Finn Wollesen Petersen. 'Our new logo looks forward to our future in the maritime industry while still staying in touch with our Danish roots.'
