Viking (NYSE: VIK), a global leader in experiential travel, is proudly returning as a sponsor of the 2025 Agria Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials, which this year also plays host to the Agria FEI Eventing European Championship at the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Wendy Atkin-Smith, Managing Director of Viking UK, commented:
“As one of the highlights of the equestrian events calendar, we are looking forward to supporting Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials once again in the stunning grounds of Blenheim Palace. Our team are looking forward to meeting guests throughout the event at our stand and introducing them to the world of Viking.”
Katrina Midgley, Event Director for the Horse Trials, added:
“We are thrilled to welcome Viking back. Their dedication to exploring the world in comfort and style reflects our own values—creating lasting memories and celebrating heritage. Their continued support is invaluable, and we’re delighted to have them on board for another year.”
Visitors to the event can explore Viking’s travel offerings at their on-site stand, where Viking team members will be available to meet and greet guests and discuss their portfolio of journeys available across their river, ocean, and expedition vessels.
