In September 2025, Moody’s upgraded Viking Cruises Ltd’s (“VCL”) corporate rating to Ba2 from Ba3.

In October 2025, VCL issued $1,700 million of 5.875% senior unsecured notes due 2033. The net proceeds were used to fully redeem all outstanding 5.875% senior unsecured notes due 2027 and to repay the finance leases on two ocean ships and one expedition ship, with the balance designated to repay the finance lease on an additional ocean ship.

In addition, in November 2025, VCL amended and upsized its existing revolving credit facility to a total of $1,000 million, extending the maturity date to 2030.

“Our strong booking position for both 2025 and 2026 reflects the robust demand for Viking’s destination-focused offerings. This forward visibility gives us confidence in our growth trajectory and in our ability to continue delivering long-term value to stakeholders,” said Leah Talactac, President and CFO of Viking.

“Since our last earnings release, we have also realized significant financial achievements. Moody’s upgraded Viking, we successfully issued $1.7 billion in senior unsecured notes, and upsized our revolving credit facility to $1.0 billion. We believe that these actions strengthen Viking’s capital structure and enhance our financial flexibility to pursue long-term growth.”
