Viking: Four River Ships For the Chinese Market in 2025
Viking’s CEO Torstein Hagen, speaking on Viking’s fourth quarter and full year 2024 earnings conference call, highlighted that Viking has four river vessels in Europe that are currently dedicated to the Chinese market.
According to Hagen, the four river vessels have Chinese staff (and) Chinese food.
“The captains and the nautical people are good … they know the way up and down the rivers,” he said. “This has taken a little bit of time, but it can, of course, become a potentially significant source of business.”
