The cruise will depart from Fort Lauderdale
The cruise industry could also be anchored during the pandemic, however, that’s not stopping some liners from planning for future journey demand amid the COVID vaccine rollout.
Los Angeles-based cruise firm Viking recently introduced its new World Cruise slated for 2022, spanning 138 days in 28 nations and 58 ports within a single day stays in 11 cities.
The World Cruise will depart from Fort Lauderdale on Dec. 22, 2022, on Viking’s newest ocean vessel, Viking Neptune, which joins the company’s 930-person ocean-going ships at the end of that yr, Viking stated in a press release. Passengers will sail through Central America, the Panama Canal, and up the West Coast.
For these looking for a less lengthy itinerary, Viking can even offer its namesake Viking World Journeys, a 121-day cruise where the company can join Viking Neptune in Los Angeles and across the Pacific to Hawaii, Australia, and New Zealand before heading to ports in Asia and the Middle East. The ship will then sail through the Mediterranean and cap off the voyage in London.
In the meantime, Viking, like many cruise line firms, canceled its voyages through the end of 2020.
