A New Chapter in Global Exploration

Viking has announced its highly anticipated 2027-2028 World Cruise itineraries, designed for travelers who seek the perfect balance of luxury, culture, and adventure. These extraordinary journeys take guests to some of the world’s most iconic destinations, from the engineering marvel of the Panama Canal to the serene beauty of New Zealand, the vibrant cities of Australia, and the cultural richness of India.

With thoughtfully curated itineraries, immersive shore excursions, and an onboard experience that blends comfort with cultural enrichment, Viking’s latest offerings promise a journey of a lifetime.


Global Destinations, Unforgettable Memories

The 2027-2028 season highlights an extensive range of destinations spanning Central America, North America, the Pacific, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Europe.

The journey begins in Central America, where travelers will traverse the Panama Canal, one of the world’s greatest engineering achievements, before making stops along the West Coast of North America. Guests will then cross the Pacific, pausing in the breathtaking Hawaiian Islands before arriving in French Polynesia, where the turquoise waters of Tahiti set the stage for a tropical escape.

The adventure continues in New Zealand and Australia, where guests can explore rugged coastlines, bustling harbors, and iconic landmarks while enjoying local culture and cuisine. In Southeast Asia, ports like Singapore and Indonesia offer vibrant markets, serene temples, and rich culinary traditions, providing a deep dive into the heart of the region.

For many, the African segment will be a highlight. Guests can embark on wildlife safaris in Tanzania or South Africa, spotting the Big Five while immersing themselves in the region’s natural beauty and rich heritage. The voyage concludes with Western European cities, offering travelers the chance to explore history-rich destinations like Norway, Copenhagen, and Stockholm.


Overnight Stays and Cultural Immersion

Viking’s world cruises are designed with cultural immersion in mind. Guests will enjoy overnight stays in key destinations, allowing more time to experience iconic cities at a relaxed pace. Imagine exploring Sydney’s harbor by day, enjoying a world-class dinner at sunset, and waking up to another day of adventure without the rush.

Other extended stays in Singapore, Zanzibar, Cape Town, and Casablanca allow deeper connections with each location, ensuring guests gain a truly authentic experience.


Tailored Itinerary Options

The 2027-2028 season offers three distinct itineraries to suit different travelers’ preferences:

  • 170-Day Viking World Voyage III: Departing from London, this itinerary includes 21 additional Northern European and Scandinavian ports, culminating in a grand finale in Stockholm.
  • 153-Day Viking World Voyage IV: Beginning in Los Angeles, this journey spans 37 countries across multiple continents, ending in Stockholm.
  • 125-Day Viking World Discoveries: A shorter but equally immersive itinerary, departing from Los Angeles and concluding in London, visiting 27 countries along the way.

These options ensure flexibility for travelers while delivering the same high standards of luxury and cultural depth Viking is known for.


Onboard Enrichment and Comfort

Life onboard Viking’s world cruises is a blend of luxury and cultural enrichment. The Viking Resident Historian program features insightful lectures and presentations tailored to the destinations along the itinerary. Guests gain historical and cultural context, enriching their travel experience long before stepping off the ship.

Entertainment onboard is also inspired by the regions visited, ensuring passengers remain immersed in the cultural spirit of their journey from start to finish.


Exclusive Shore and Overland Excursions

Viking’s excursion offerings go beyond standard sightseeing. Every destination features included excursions designed to highlight the unique traditions, people, and history of the area.

For a more exclusive experience, Privileged Access tours offer behind-the-scenes entry to cultural landmarks and institutions not typically open to the public. Guests can also choose multi-day overland excursions, such as:

  • A six-day Uluru & Great Barrier Reef adventure in Australia.
  • A six-day Golden Triangle tour in India, featuring the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, and Jaipur.
  • A five-day safari in Kruger National Park in South Africa, offering the rare chance to witness Africa’s most iconic wildlife in its natural environment.

These options ensure that every traveler can craft a personalized and unforgettable adventure.


The Viking Difference

Viking’s reputation for refined luxury, exceptional service, and cultural depth is what makes its world cruises stand out. With smaller ships designed for comfort and access to smaller ports, guests enjoy an intimate, relaxed experience that still delivers the grand scale of global exploration.


A Journey of Discovery

The 2027-2028 Viking World Cruise is more than a trip — it’s a transformative journey. From the sun-soaked islands of the South Pacific to the history-rich streets of Europe, guests will be able to experience the world’s beauty, culture, and history in luxurious comfort.

For seasoned travelers and first-time cruisers alike, Viking offers a chance to explore the globe in a way that is immersive, seamless, and unforgettable. With its blend of cultural programming, exclusive excursions, and world-class service, Viking sets the standard for modern luxury cruising.
