Viking has announced its 2028-2029 World Cruise itineraries, including a 142-day global voyage aboard Viking Vesta that will visit 31 countries across six continents.

Departing Fort Lauderdale on 21 December 2028, the Viking World Cruise will conclude in London on 12 May 2029, featuring 62 guided tours, overnight stays in 16 cities and access to up to 45 UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Viking Executive Chairman Torstein Hagen said the itineraries had been designed for travellers seeking deeper destination immersion through extended global exploration.

“Our World Cruises are thoughtfully designed for curious travellers who have the time and desire to experience dozens of phenomenal destinations around the globe in one seamless journey,” Hagen said.
