Helsinki routes and freight business drive positive development at Viking Line

Viking Line can look back on a strong year in 2024. The company recorded significant growth in passenger numbers and freight business, particularly on the routes from Helsinki. The results underline the shipping company's strength and adaptability in a changing market.

Rising passenger numbers

With over 6.8 million passengers, Viking Line achieved a significant increase in 2024 compared to the previous year. The routes between Helsinki, Stockholm and Tallinn proved to be particularly popular with both tourists and business travellers. These routes benefit from improved timetables and modernised ships.

Growth in the freight business

Viking Line was also able to grow in the area of freight. The company transported 140,000 freight units, a growth that was boosted by optimised logistics and new service offerings. This success demonstrates the importance of the freight segment for the overall development of the shipping company.

Sustainable innovations

A central focus of the year was on the further development of sustainable technologies. Viking Line invested in low-emission propulsion systems and energy-efficient solutions to further reduce the environmental footprint of its fleet. This is part of the long-term strategy to promote more sustainable shipping.

Strengthening the customer experience

To increase its attractiveness for passengers, Viking Line introduced new on-board services, including an expanded catering offer and improved leisure facilities. These measures helped to increase guest satisfaction and loyalty.

Outlook for 2025

With a strong foundation, Viking Line plans to continue its growth in 2025. Planned investments in the fleet and an increased focus on sustainability should further consolidate the market position. The 2024 results show that Viking Line is on a solid course to successfully meet the challenges of the future and continue to act as a leading player in the Baltic Sea region.
