SUN VIKING


When first introduced by Royal Caribbean in 1972, SUN VIKING was the third sister of the original trio of SONG OF NORWAY-class cruise ships.
After many years in the Caribbean waters, she was used overseas in order to develop new cruise markets, and so she visited Lisbon.
Here she is leaving Lisbon on 16 May 1995.
