That is a count of individually identified hulls, not the company’s published fleet size — the two are different measurements and both are shown above where available.

United States is the country of registration for 144 commercial operators in this directory, among which Viking Ocean Cruises ranks 17th by ships on record. Between them those companies hold 435 vessels here. 1 of them carry a published container-capacity ranking. See every operator registered in United States.

Founded in 2013, Viking Ocean Cruises is 13 years old. This directory holds 82 operators founded within five years either side of that date, whose median fleet on record is 1 ships. The median founding year across all commercial operators here is 1966, and the oldest on record dates to 1514.
