Viking sets sail with new 2027-2028 World Cruise Itineraries 

Viking has announced its new 2027-2028 World Cruise itineraries, including the Viking World Cruise, which will journey around the world in 142 days, visiting 31 countries with 62 guided tours in distinct ports of call and overnight stays in 16 cities.

Setting sail on the Viking Vesta from Fort Lauderdale on Dec. 28, 2027, the itinerary will include ports of call across six continents before its final destination of London on May 18, 2028.

Torstein Hagen, Chairman and CEO of Viking, said: “Our approach has always been different. At Viking, we always focus on the destination. 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.”

Viking’s World Cruise itineraries visit many of the world’s most iconic cities, alongside lesser-known destinations, and culturally rich ports of call, all in one continuous journey.

World Cruise guests can explore ports in Central America, transit the famed Panama Canal and journey up the West Coast of North America before crossing the Pacific Ocean and calling on islands in Hawaii and French Polynesia including Tahiti. From there, World Cruise guests traverse New Zealand and Australia, call on ports in Southeast Asia and explore Africa—with multiple options for wildlife safari excursions — before reaching iconic cities in Western Europe.

Guests on Viking’s World Cruises will enjoy overnight stays in ports such as Sydney, Singapore, Zanzibar, Cape Town, Casablanca and many others, allowing for deeper exploration.

Those guests 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.

From now through Aug. 31, 2025, Viking is offering North American travellers special savings on 2027-2028 World Cruises, including free business class airfare and transfers, a $4,000 per couple shore excursion credit, a $2,000 per couple shipboard credit, complimentary Silver Spirits Beverage Package and more. Returning Viking guests also receive an additional $2,000 per couple in shipboard credit. Plus, guests can enjoy a limited-time reduced deposit of 10%.

As always, Viking Inclusive Value also features one complimentary shore excursion in each port, complimentary access to The Nordic Spa & Fitness Center, free Wi-Fi and more.
