Viking shared strong booking numbers during its third-quarter earnings call, showing that demand for its cruises continues to grow. CEO Torstein Hagen said that the company had already booked 70 percent of its 2026 capacity as of November 2. He explained that this level of advanced demand shows how well the brand is performing.<\/p>\n
Hagen also shared updated numbers for 2025. As of November 2, Viking had sold 96 percent of its available capacity for 2025 across its core products. He said both years are shaping up well and reflecting the company\u2019s steady momentum.<\/p>\n
According to Hagen, these results highlight Viking\u2019s strong brand position, the loyalty of its customers, and the appeal of its destination-focused cruises. He noted that as the fleet grows, this kind of forward visibility supports long-term planning and gives the company confidence about the future.<\/p>\n
He added that Viking\u2019s core product capacity is increasing by 9 percent. Even with that growth, bookings remain ahead of expectations. Viking has already secured $4.9 billion in advanced bookings, which Hagen said is 14 percent higher compared to the 2025 season at the same point in time during 2024.<\/p>\n
The company also reported that 95 percent of passenger cruise days for the year have already been sold. This is an 18 percent increase. Advanced bookings overall are up 29 percent compared to the same time last year, and pricing remains strong.<\/p>\n
Hagen called this a solid position for the company as it continues to expand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
