Jim Cramer Says “We Do Not Trade Viking Holdings”

Viking Holdings Ltd (NYSE:VIK) was among Jim Cramer’s stock calls on Mad Money recently as he recapped mega-cap tech earnings. A caller asked if they should trade the stock or stay put. Cramer replied:

We do not trade Viking Holdings. We think that Viking Holdings with Torstein Hagen is about as good as it gets. We spent a lot of time with Tor the last time when he was in New York. And let me just say this, that one, $78 stock, it feels a lot like a hundred.

Viking Holdings Ltd (NYSE:VIK) runs passenger travel services and provides river, ocean, and expedition cruises. Cramer called it his favorite during the episode aired on December 11, 2025. The Mad Money host commented:

Finally, as I looked over the S&P 500’s top gainers today, I noticed that three of the top five gains came from major cruise line companies. I thought this strange. Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line, Carnival, all up about 6%. But that again is part of what you buy after a Fed cut if you think the consumer’s better than you think. Let’s also not forget about Viking Holdings, the river cruise company that’s not included in the S&P 500. That is my favorite. Viking’s held up much better than the three majors this year because it’s more focused on older, wealthier travelers. The whole group’s been roaring for the past couple weeks, in part because everyone recognized that the Fed is still our friend and the shutdown didn’t really matter.
