Creator's Key Takeaways
We continued to expand our fleet and took delivery of our newest ocean ship, the Viking Vesta, which we named on a hot day in the beautiful port of Split, Croatia.
Today, Viking has more than 100 ships across our award-winning river, ocean, and expedition fleet.
We also announced expansion into exciting new destinations, including the Brahmaputra River in India, where we will begin sailing in 2027 with two ships there by 2028.
The Viking Libra is particularly exciting, as she will be the world's first cruise ship partially powered by hydrogen fuel cells.
