The Port Authority of Valencia (APV), led by the Head of Marketing and Cruises, Francesca Antonelli, this morning presented the traditional socarrat - which replaces the metope - commemorating the arrival at the Port of Valencia of the Viking Saturn cruise ship, which has a capacity for 930 passengers.
This 2023 Viking Cruises vessel has been built to the latest regulations and is equipped with state-of-the-art safety systems, including a "safe return to port" system, and is Lloyd's Register. The ships also feature high-efficiency engines, hydrodynamically optimized hulls for reduced fuel consumption, and systems that minimize exhaust emissions and meet the strictest environmental regulations.
Valenciaport presents a socarrat, the Valencian terracotta tiles decorated with nautical elements, to the captain of the ship that docks in Valencia, Sagunto or Gandia during the gift exchange ceremonies that take place when a ship arrives in port for the first time.
