Royal Viking Sky

Royal Viking Sky - the second of the famous trio built at Wärtsilä shipyard in Helsinki (now Aker Finnyards) for the erstwhile Royal Viking Line - is now serving as Boudicca for Fred Olsen Cruise Lines.
Like her two sisters she was stretched at the Lloyd Werft in Bremerhaven by adding a section built at SSW Schichau Seebeck Shipyard.
Recently all three ships underwent another extensive refit at Blohm + Voss - see this press statement on the refit of the sister ship Black Watch - where beside other modifications the complete propulsion system was replaced.
After leaving Royal Viking Line, Royal Viking Sky had a varied career before being rejoined in 2005 with her sister Black Watch in the Fred Olsen Cruises fleet.
A sumary of her career and some photos are is available at Fakta om Fartyg and Simplon postcards.
