Viking officially named its newest ocean ship, Viking Vesta, at a traditional ceremony held in Split, Croatia.

The other six ships -- Viking Atla, Viking Forseti, Viking Jarl, Viking Rinda, Viking Tor and Viking Var -- remained at the Neptun shipyard in Rostock, Germany where all 10 vessels were built.

The Oseberg ship is on display in the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo. Built of oak around A.D. 820, the craft is especially noteworthy for its spiral-shaped prow, carved in the form of a serpent’s head.

The ships, named after Egyptian deities (Hathor, the goddess of love, and Sobek, the crocodile god), were welcomed with a ceremony that managed to balance corporate pomp with a nod to history.
