Description: VIK Viking Holdings December 17, 2025
Viking Holdings Ltd (NYSE:VIK) operates passenger shipping and tourism services across North America, the United Kingdom, and international routes, segmented into River and Ocean businesses. The fleet includes 96 vessels-83 river ships (58 Longships, 10 smaller Longship-based vessels, 13 other river ships, plus two chartered river vessels), 11 ocean ships, and 2 expedition ships. Founded in 1997 and domiciled in Bermuda, the company also runs tour-related activities for its passengers.
Key performance indicators from the FY 2023 filing show revenue of roughly $1.5 billion, an adjusted EBITDA margin near 13 %, and a cash-flow conversion rate of 85 %, reflecting strong operating efficiency. Passenger demand is closely tied to discretionary spending trends and U.S. consumer confidence, while fuel price volatility remains a material cost driver for both river and ocean segments. The cruise and river-tour market has been benefitting from a post-pandemic rebound, with average daily rates (ADR) on river cruises rising about 7 % YoY, supported by higher-margin premium itineraries.
