A Tromsø naming for Viking's next ocean ship?

A Tromsø naming for Viking's next ocean ship?
Viking Cruises' third ocean-going newbuild, Viking Sky, is 'likely to be christened in Tromsø at midsummer next year,' company chairman Torstein Hagen said Saturday.

The decision isn't final, he added. If Tromsø is chosen, it would be the second city in Norway that's hosted a Viking naming. The company's first ship, Viking Star, was inaugurated in Bergen in 2015.

This year's Viking Sea was named in London, on the Thames at Greenwich.
