Celebrating 10 Years of Ocean Voyages | Viking
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The video commemorates the ten year anniversary of Viking's ocean voyage division, beginning with the naming of the Viking Star in Bergen. The creator outlines the company's rapid growth from a single vessel to a fleet of eleven ships built in partnership with Fincantieri. The narrative emphasizes a contrarian business model that distinguishes the brand through specific restrictions, such as not allowing children under 18 or casinos on board, and avoiding hidden fees. Much of the coverage focuses on the company culture and the professional development of its crew members. Employees and guests describe a family like environment where staff from nearly 100 different nationalities can build long term careers. The video concludes by noting the brand's high rankings in travel publications and expressing an intention to continue expanding the fleet and the business in the coming years.

We don't allow children under 18. We don't have casinos on board. And above all, we do not want a nickel and dime a gas.
The one thing that really brings me back and my husband back is the crew. Just phenomenal.
I've never in my entire life and I've traveled a lot, let me tell you, never come across such amazing people.
We always go with Viking. We don't do anything outside of Viking.
