Talactac joined Viking in 2006. She moved up the management ranks to serve as a member of the executive team that steered Viking\u2019s successful IPO in 2024, which was the largest of the year on the NYSE. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She will lead the company’s executive committee, a team of executives with complementary skills who have worked together for over 15 years, driving Viking’s outstanding performance before and after the IPO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn behalf of the entire Viking family, I would like to congratulate Leah on her appointment as President,\u201d said Torstein Hagen, Chairman and CEO of Viking. \u201cSince joining Viking in 2006, Leah has been instrumental in our success. With her long tenure and impressive financial acumen, she is well-positioned to help lead Viking in our next chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Viking also announced that it has ordered eight river ships for delivery in 2027 and 2028. This is in addition to the 16 river ships already committed to be delivered by 2026 and the nine additional ocean ships for delivery by 2030. With these orders, Viking will have 107 river ships in 2028 and 21 ocean and expedition ships in 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Viking was founded in 1997 and provides destination-focused journeys on rivers, oceans, and lakes worldwide. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
