She will also offer the “perennial Australian favourite,” the 23-day North Pacific Passage itinerary visiting Japan, Russia, the Bering Sea, Alaska before arriving in Vancouver.

Viking’s newest ocean-going ship, Viking Venus will also join its fleet in 2021, offering a variety of sailings in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe including a 13-day voyage In Search of the Northern Lights.

Viking has also opened bookings for sailings on its ocean-going ships, Viking Jupiter and Viking Sky between September 2021 and May 2022.

Viking Jupiter will operate trans-Atlantic sailings as well as an 18-day South America and the Chilean Fjords cruise from Buenos Aires to Santiago.

Known as “the Thinking Person’s Cruise”, Viking itineraries are destination-focused, culturally enriching and carefully curated. Voyages have been developed with curious, experienced travellers in mind, the line said.

Prices for the 13-day In Search of the Northern Lights cruise start from $6695 per person in a veranda stateroom for departures between January and March 2022. Prices for the 23-day North Pacific Passage journey start from $11,695 pp for departures in August 2021 and May 2022.
