Viking Star In Dry Dock

For the last couple of years, I am proud to have been a part of the photography team for Viking cruises. This latest project was very different. No cruising to glamorous ports around the world. No this time my travel was over to Genoa and then further travel, under the ship!

This is because this commission was to document Viking Star coming into what’s called Dry Dock. This is where the full outside of the ship is cleaned and given a full maintenance procedure. Also, during this time, several interior projects were carried out to improve and enhance this gorgeous ocean cruise ship.

So a very simple brief here. Document each and every stage that happens. Sounds simple but I was on my own, so lots of planning needed to be in the right place at the right time around, inside and under this gigantic ship.
