Viking Glory

MS Viking Glory is a cruiseferry owned and operated by Viking Line. The ship was launched in January 2021 and entered service in March 2022. Viking Glory was built at the Xiamen Shipbuilding Industry shipyard in China. The order was worth 225 million euro. The ship operates the Turku-Åland-Stockholm route, where she replaced the Amorella. Viking Glory was built on the foundation of Viking Grace, but her energy efficiency was sought to improve. The ship is slightly longer and wider than Viking Grace, making her nine percent larger. In terms of gross tonnage (GT) Viking Glory is the largest cruiseferry on the northern Baltic Sea. Viking Glory leaves from Turku in the morning and arrives at Mariehamn together with its sister ship Viking Grace in the afternoon on the same day. The ship stops at Mariehamn for 15 minutes. In the evening the ship arrives in Stockholm and stays there for an hour, after which it continues back towards Turku via Långnäs. Because of this, a full cruise takes 23 hours. Viking Glory usually leaves Turku in the morning, but it has also made evening departures for several days or even a week on end.
