Year 2022, like the previous year, continued to be exceptional for the whole world, as well as for Viking Line:
Negative: pandemic + Ukraine + sky-high fuel prices + market uncertainty.
Positive: a renewed demand to travel, especially locally.
Fleet changes:
- AMORELLA and ROSELLA sold.
- VIKING GLORY entered service in March. The ship has been very popular and will reach the 1 million passenger milestone after less than a year in traffic.
