As president, Talactac will lead the company's executive committee, which Viking called "a team of executives with complementary skillsets who have worked together for over 15 years."

Viking said Talactac led Viking's IPO last year. 

"On behalf of the entire Viking family, I would like to congratulate Leah on her appointment as president," Hagen said. "Since 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."

Viking also announced that it has ordered eight river ships for delivery in 2027 and 2028. The new orders will bring Viking's river fleet to 107 ships by 2028.
