Two new West Indies and Europe combination itineraries have also been added: the 13-day West Indies & the Iberian Peninsula cruise between San Juan and Barcelona; and West Indies & the Mediterranean, a 25-day ocean journey between San Juan and Venice, both departing March 2024.

Viking recently reported that ocean cruising is in demand with travel advisors experiencing increased enquiries for cruise holidays.

Viking ANZ managing director Michelle Black said the new itineraries and additional departure dates will provide more options for travel agents and guests.

“People are still making up for lost time, so they are booking longer experiences and planning further ahead,” Ms Black said.

“Many guests are choosing to travel now, but are also locking in their future plans well ahead of time to secure their preferred travel dates and stateroom category.”
