What we have not confirmed

• River ship names are from the line's river pages. The Nile, Mississippi and Asia entries use the site's own groupings as their class, not a named class.
• The Douro, Elbe and Seine Longship pages were not read. Wikipedia names six more river ships (Viking Astrild, Beyla, Fjorgyn, Helgrim, Hemming and Kari) but not their river or class, so they are not listed.
• Ocean class names and which ships are in service came from a tool summary of the Wikipedia page, not word for word. Viking Vela, Vesta, Mira, Leda and Vega are not listed because their class or status is unverified.
• The line's expedition ships are not listed: this site covers open-water, coastal and river cruises only.
• The line's own site did not state a headquarters, and named home ports were not found.
