Viking has opened bookings and revealed deployment details of a selection of the line’s award-winning ocean ships between September 2021 and May 2022, including the return of Viking Orion to her seasonal Sydney and Auckland home ports between December 2021 and March 2022 – her fourth consecutive season based down under.
Some of Viking’s most popular itineraries departing between September 2021 and May 2022 are now available to book, including Australian-favourites such as the 23-day North Pacific Passage from Tokyo to Vancouver via Alaska & Russia, the 13-day Mediterranean Odyssey from Venice to Barcelona and the 13-day In Search of the Northern Lights sailing from Bergen to London.
Viking Orion will offer six 15-day Australia & New Zealand itineraries from Sydney to Auckland, book-ended at both ends of the season by the 17-day Komodo & The Australian Coast voyage between Sydney and Bali, before sailing a range of Asian itineraries. Plus she will continue to offer perennial Australian favourite, the 23-day North Pacific Passage, which recently hosted the largest ever contingent of Australians and New Zealanders on a Viking cruise.
Meanwhile Viking Jupiter, Viking Sky and the line’s newest ocean ship, Viking Venus – joining the fleet in early 2021 – will offer a selection of sailings in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe, such as the 13-day In Search of the Northern Lights, 11-day Greek Odyssey from Athens to Athens, river/ocean combination cruises such as Rhine & Viking Shores & Fjords from Basel to Bergen and Quiet Season Mediterranean sailings such as the seven-night Journey to Antiquities from Rome to Athens.
Viking Jupiter will also operate trans-Atlantic sailings and the 18-day South America & the Chilean Fjords cruise from Buenos Aires to Santiago.
