Viking has announced 14 new ocean itineraries for 2026 and 2027, now available for booking. The voyages range from 15 to 36 days and combine multiple existing itineraries to create extended exploration opportunities across the Mediterranean, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Scandinavia.

"Viking guests are curious travelers who are interested in enriching their lives by exploring and learning about the world," said Torstein Hagen, chairman and CEO of Viking. "With our destination-focused approach and elegant small ships, our voyages have always been designed to bring guests closer to their destination and provide opportunities for cultural immersion. These new voyages offer even more choices for guests who wish to extend their time abroad with one seamless itinerary."

The new itineraries include several 15-day Mediterranean options: Jewels of the Mediterranean operates roundtrip from Rome, visiting Italy, Tunisia, Spain and France with overnight stays in Barcelona and Florence. Gems of the Mediterranean runs roundtrip from Barcelona, covering Spain, Italy and France. Spain, Portugal & the Mediterranean operates between Lisbon and Rome, circumnavigating the Iberian Peninsula.

Mid-length options include the 19-day Iconic Western Europe voyage between London and Barcelona, and the 20-day From Iberia to the Northern Lights journey from Barcelona to Tromso, which concludes in Norway's aurora borealis region.

Several 22-day itineraries are available: Mediterranean & Atlantic Crossing runs between Rome and San Juan, Puerto Rico, extending to Caribbean destinations including St. Martin. Adriatic & Mediterranean Discovery operates between Venice and Lisbon with overnight stays in four cities. Iberia & Mediterranean Antiquities travels between Lisbon and Athens, focusing on ancient historical sites. British Isles & Viking Shores connects London to Amsterdam via Scotland, Ireland and Norway. Viking Homelands, Shores & Fjords runs from Stockholm to Amsterdam through the Baltic Sea and Norwegian fjords.

The longest itineraries span nearly a month: the 29-day Iberia, the Mediterranean & Aegean voyage operates between Lisbon and Istanbul with overnight stays in five cities. Iceland, Norway & British Isles runs between Reykjavik and London, including visits to Svalbard and Jan Mayen. The 30-day Mediterranean Explorer travels between Athens and Lisbon with overnight stays in five cities.

The most extensive offering is the 36-day Grand Mediterranean Explorer, operating between Lisbon and Istanbul with overnight stays in six cities, covering the full Mediterranean basin from Iberian ports to Greek destinations.
