Description: VIK Viking Holdings October 14, 2025
Viking Holdings Ltd (NYSE: VIK) is a Bermuda-incorporated operator of passenger-focused transportation services, primarily river cruises and ocean voyages, across North America, the United Kingdom, and other international markets. The business is organized into two segments-River and Ocean-and also runs a tourism-related tour-entrepreneur division.
As of 31 December 2023 the company owned a fleet of 96 vessels: 83 river ships (including 58 “Longships,” 10 smaller Longship-derived classes, 13 other river vessels, and 2 chartered river ships-the Viking Saigon and Viking Mississippi) and 13 ocean-focused ships (11 ocean-cruise ships and 2 expedition vessels).
In fiscal 2023 Viking generated approximately $2.5 billion in revenue with an adjusted EBITDA margin near 20 %, driven largely by a 9 % YoY increase in average passenger yield (≈ $210 per cruise night) and a 95 % occupancy rate on its flagship Longship fleet. The company’s cash flow conversion remained strong, delivering about $600 million of free cash flow, which funded a $150 million capital-expenditure program focused on new ship construction and retrofits.
Key macro-drivers for Viking’s market include rising discretionary spending in the U.S. and Europe, a rebound in international tourism post-COVID-19, and volatile fuel prices that affect operating margins. The cruise sector’s shift toward “experience-rich” river itineraries-often priced at a premium to traditional ocean cruises-has been a notable growth catalyst, while regulatory scrutiny on emissions (IMO 2025 carbon limits) is prompting fleet modernization investments.
