Viking Holdings Ltd said it has appointed Leah Talactac as Chief Executive Officer, replacing founder Torstein Hagen, who will become Executive Chairman.
The company also named Linh Banh, previously Executive Vice President of Finance, as its new Chief Financial Officer.
Viking announced the leadership changes alongside its first-quarter 2026 financial results, reporting total revenue of $1.05 billion, up 17.5% year-on-year.
The company’s Adjusted EBITDA rose 43.9% to $104.8 million, while Net Yield increased 9.5% to $596.
Viking said bookings remained strong, with 92% of its 2026 capacity already sold as of May 3, while bookings for the 2027 season reached 38%.
Hagen said the company had seen strong demand during the quarter and continued progress in expanding its fleet and destination offerings.
Talactac said Viking’s booked position for 2026 and 2027 reflected the resilience of its customer base and continued demand for travel experiences.
The company added that it expects to take delivery of two ocean ships and nine river vessels during the remainder of 2026.
