Jim Cramer Recommends Royal Caribbean Cruises Over Viking Holding (VIK)
We recently published a list of . In this article, we are going to take a look at where Viking Holdings Ltd (NYSE:VIK) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discusses. A caller asked for Cramer's thoughts on Viking Holdings Ltd (NYSE:VIK), and he replied: 'Okay, I like Viking, but I thought they were tepid when they came on, and therefore I'm going to send you to Royal. I think RCL is now the gold standard, and that's the one I want to own.' Viking (NYSE:VIK) provides transport services for travelers and offers tourism experiences that include guided tours and other activities for its guests. Moreover, on March 14, Cramer was bullish on the company as he said: 'Regular viewers know I am a big fan of the cruise lines… Viking's a unique player with an impressive focus on rich American baby boomers. We watched with glee as Viking stock glided higher and higher and higher throughout last year and even the first few weeks of 2025, eventually it peaked at 53 bucks and change in early February just before the market-wide sell-off. Since then, the stock's fallen back to $40, down roughly 25% from its highs just over a month ago… The cruise lines are different from other travel plays. They represent incredible value versus traditional vacation alternatives…For Viking in particular, we have a fresher company-specific catalyst. On Tuesday morning, the company reported an excellent quarter with in-line revenue and impressive 9-cent earnings beat off a 36-cent basis… Overall, VIK ranks 5th on our list of stocks that Jim Cramer discusses. While we acknowledge the potential of VIK as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk. If you are looking for an extremely cheap AI stock that is also a major beneficiary of Trump tariffs and onshoring, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.
