Viking Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:VIK) is one of the best IPO stocks to buy and hold for 3 years. On September 5, Viking partnered with Focus Features, Universal Pictures, and Carnival Films to celebrate the release of the film Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale. The movie will be released in the US and UK on September 12. The partnership is a continuation of Viking’s corporate sponsorship of the MASTERPIECE series on PBS, which began in 2011.

The cruise line is also celebrating its long-standing relationship with Highclere Castle, the iconic filming location for Downton Abbey and the home of the Earl and Countess of Carnarvon. Since 2014, Viking has offered guests “Privileged Access” to the castle through pre- and post-voyage land extensions, such as the Oxford & Highclere Castle and Great Homes, Gardens & Gin extensions.
