Viking Holdings Ltd.

General Information
Business:

Viking was founded in 1997 with four river vessels and a simple vision that travel could be more destination-focused and culturally immersive. (Incorporated in Bermuda)

Today, we have grown into one of the world’s leading travel companies, with a fleet of 92 small, state-of-the-art ships, which we view as floating hotels. From our iconic journeys on the world’s great rivers, including our new Mississippi River itineraries, to our ocean voyages around the globe and our extraordinary expeditions to the ends of the earth, we offer meaningful travel experiences on all seven continents in all three categories of the cruise industry—river, ocean and expedition cruising.
