In this Viking Cruises vlog we discuss the recent news that Viking is confidentially considering going from private ownership under Torstein Hagen to a publicly traded company through an IPO (Initial Public Offering); there are thoughts that this is in response to the massive debt accumulated from the COVID pandemic shutdown. As cruise enthusiasts ourselves we discuss what this could mean for the Viking cruise experience.
