Viking has announced its new 2027-2028 World Cruise itineraries, including the Viking World Cruise, which will visit 31 countries in 142 days.

Setting sail on Viking Vesta from Fort Lauderdale on December 28, 2027, the itinerary will include 62 guided tours in ports of call and overnight stays in 16 cities before its final destination of London on May 18, 2028.

Passengers who wish to extend their journey may choose the 170-day Viking World Voyage III, which continues from London and includes 21 additional ports of call across northern Europe and Scandinavia before concluding in Stockholm.

Viking also offers additional options, including the 153-day Viking World Voyage IV, which sails from Los Angeles to Stockholm and visits 37 countries, as well as the shorter 125-day Viking World Discoveries voyage, which departs from Los Angeles, visits 27 countries and concludes in London.

Onboard lectures and entertainment include the Viking Resident Historian programme, which provides guests with historical and cultural education specific to their journey.

Viking also offers World Cruise guests the opportunity for optional multi-day overland excursions to explore the region further inland before rejoining the ship at a later port.

Overland experiences include the six-day Uluru & Great Barrier Reef Overland excursion; a six-day India’s Golden Triangle Overland excursion to experience the famed landmarks of the country including the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Pink City of Jaipur; or the five-day Kruger National Park Overland excursion in search of the Big Five in Africa.

Our World Cruises are thoughtfully designed to offer the opportunity to experience dozens of fascinating destinations around the world in one seamless voyage – these epic voyages are truly the ultimate in exploration.”
