Facts:<br />

The M/S <strong>Viking</strong> <strong>Grace</strong> – A vessel characterized by fresh thinking<br />

In many ways, <strong>the</strong> M/S <strong>Viking</strong> <strong>Grace</strong> is a vessel of <strong>the</strong> future. Therefore, it was a c<strong>on</strong>scious choice to ignore traditi<strong>on</strong>al ship<br />

design and think in new and fresh ways instead. The <strong>Viking</strong> <strong>Grace</strong>’s interior decorati<strong>on</strong> will be characterized by a broad<br />

spectrum of different styles ranging from cosy retro to sober elegance. Flexibility, renewal and modern technology have<br />

been key principles in <strong>the</strong> planning process. The focus has been <strong>on</strong> widening <strong>the</strong> views, using generous windows to open<br />

up views of <strong>the</strong> most beautiful archipelagos in <strong>the</strong> world.<br />

The vessel will be equipped with <strong>the</strong> best technology available. The latest lighting and sound technology will be used in <strong>the</strong><br />

night club and restaurants. There will be about 150 digital displays all over <strong>the</strong> vessel, as well as an IP-TV in every cabin to<br />

guarantee that up-to-date informati<strong>on</strong> will always be available to passengers.<br />

The M/S <strong>Viking</strong> <strong>Grace</strong> has attracted plenty of global attenti<strong>on</strong>, because she will be <strong>the</strong> largest LNG-driven passenger ferry in<br />

<strong>the</strong> world. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is <strong>the</strong> cleanest and envir<strong>on</strong>mentally friendliest fossil fuel available today.<br />
