Hello FAST! 

I am glad to inform that the cruise line company Viking Line has decided to adopt the European Chicken Commitment (ECC). This decision follows a long dialogue with Project 1882 and encompasses all of the company's operations in Sweden, Finland, and Estonia.

This makes Viking Line the latest cruise line company to commit to the ECC following discussions with Project 1882. They join Finnlines, Stena Line, and Destination Gotland in this initiative. Project 1882 is now focusing on the remaining ferry companies in the Baltic Sea, such as Tallink Silja and TT-Line.

Approximately 6 million people travel with Viking Line each year.
