Viking Line Abp reported a solid third quarter for 2025, with sales of €152.5 million (€151.5 million in Q3 2024) and operating income of €28.7 million (€29.4 million). Income after taxes rose to €29.3 million, up from €24.9 million.
For January–September 2025, sales reached €368.3 million (€370.6 million), and operating income stood at €17.5 million (€25.2 million). Net profit after taxes was €12.0 million (€12.4 million). Investments totalled €15.4 million, mainly in GABRIELLA and VIKING XPRS.
President and CEO Jan Hanses said the third quarter was “stronger than last year,” noting that better late-summer weather supported travel and onboard sales. “Our expectation of improvement was met, albeit modestly,” he added.
The accumulated result was affected by dockings of GABRIELLA and VIKING XPRS, but Hanses expects a full-year result in line with 2024. He also cited challenges from higher fairway dues, ETS charges, and a strained economic climate reducing consumer spending.
Hanses highlighted continued record-high customer satisfaction and thanked staff, customers, and partners for their commitment. After nearly four decades at the company, he will step down as CEO on 3 November, handing over to Marcus Risberg, and will continue as a board member.
The Board expects pre-tax profits for 2025 to be on par with 2024, in line with earlier forecasts.
