Tor Hagen Talks Luxury Travel on Viking Cruises

Torstein Hagen is Chairman of Viking Cruises, which includes river and ocean cruise lines. Viking was established in 1997 with the purchase of four ships in Russia. In 2000, the company purchased Europe’s KD River Cruises in order to grow its fleet, to leverage 40 years of river cruising experience and to acquire rights to prime docking locations in key European cities.

The creator of a truly unique luxury cruising product on both the oceans and the rivers of the world, Hagen talks with Paul and Elizabeth about his thoughts on what is making Viking such as success.
