Viking remains focused on well-defined, long-term growth plans as part of a strategy to continue leading the way in experiential travel. Based on Viking’s committed orderbook, the company expects to take delivery of 20 additional river ships by 2028, nine additional ocean ships by 2031 and two additional expedition ships by 2031.
