TimelapseLab had the honor of closely following the launch of Viking Mira, the new cruise ship built for Viking at the Fincantieri shipyard in Ancona. An exciting moment, documented through timelapse images, to tell — in a dedicated video — the craftsmanship and innovation that have characterized every stage in the construction of this extraordinary vessel.
From the keel laying to the moment Viking Mira touched the water, every detail was captured with precision, highlighting the power and elegance of this launch. With a gross tonnage of approximately 54,300 tons, 499 staterooms, and capacity for 998 passengers, the ship stands out for its refined design, panoramic spaces, and the Scandinavian style that defines the Viking fleet.
The construction process showcased the high quality of workmanship and the synergy between teams, blending shipbuilding tradition with technological innovation in a project that represents a milestone in the collaboration between Viking and Fincantieri. Our monitoring work captured not only the launch, but also the shared commitment to quality, safety, and sustainability that unites all partners involved.
This launch marks not only a milestone for our company, but also a concrete step toward the future of cruise ships, and demonstrates the effectiveness of TimelapseLab’s TLA8 VF devices in capturing high-quality images, essential for documenting and overseeing the most significant moments in the shipbuilding industry.
