Viking Line’s Viking Grace has transported four million passengers in the three years since she was launched in January 2013.
To mark the milestone, which was reached on Viking Grace’s evening departure on 13 May, all passengers were treated to a glass of sparkling wine. The four millionth passenger was also treated to an upgraded cabin, dinner in the Nordic restaurant Oscar à la Carte and lunch in Buffet Aurora.
Viking Grace is still the only LNG-fuelled passenger ship operating in the Baltic Sea and sails regular departures on the Turku–Stockholm route between Finland and Sweden.
“It is a fine achievement for a vessel to reach four million passengers in just three years,” said Kaj Takolander, Viking Line’s head of sales and marketing in Finland, the Baltics and Russia. “Viking Grace has attracted a great deal of attention from the very beginning. It is, after all, the most beautiful vessel on the Baltic Sea, combining environmentally sound technology and quiet comfortable travel with top-quality restaurants, interiors planned by award-winning designer Vertti Kivi, a unique range of shopping and modernised spa facilities.”
