Viking's 2026-27 world cruise stretches 170 days, from Fort Lauderdale to Stockholm, with three shorter options also available.

The full Viking World Voyage III will visit 41 countries with 82 guided tours and overnight stays in 18 cities. It embarks Dec. 22, 2026 from Port Everglades and arrives in Stockholm on June 10, 2027.

The 930-passenger Viking Sky will explore Hawaii and the isles of the South Pacific, including French Polynesia; New Zealand and Australia; Asia, the western coast of Africa and Europe.

World Voyage III is priced starting at $72,995 per person, double occupancy.

Shorter options

A shorter, 153-day portion of the sailing, Viking World Voyage IV, departs from Los Angeles on Jan. 8, 2027 and visits 37 countries with 18 overnight stays before ending in Stockholm. The 142-day Viking World Cruise 2026-2027 itinerary from Fort Lauderdale to London visits 31 countries, or the 125-day voyage, Viking World Discoveries, which departs from Los Angeles, visits 27 countries before ending in London.

Overnight stays

Overnight stays in iconic ports such as Sydney, Zanzibar, Cape Town, Casablanca and others allow passengers to explore more deeply.

Viking Sky also will visit Africa’s western coast, including Lagos, Nigeria, and Accra and Takoradi in Ghana.

Further highlights include Hawaii's 'Garden Island' of Kauai; Cairns, Australia, gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree and Kuranda national parks; Mombasa, Kenya with its rich tapestry of Middle Eastern and African cultures; and Morocco's Agadir, the capital of Amazigh culture, the indigenous peoples of North Africa.

Phuket, Thailand is known for picturesque beaches and a deep trade-route history. Lisbon is a trove of historic architecture where visitors can savor port wine and visit fado music clubs in the old Alfama District. At London, Viking Sky docks in Greenwich, home to the Royal Observatory. Stockholm, the Swedish capital, extends over 14 islands linked by scores of bridges and encompasses the well-preserved 13th-century Gamla Stan (old town).

Cultural enrichment and included excursions

Cultural enrichment onboard spans lectures and entertainment, including the Viking Resident Historian program, which provides a high-level historical and cultural education specific to the journey.

Included excursions give insight into daily life, and 'Privileged Access' visits feature cultural institutions.
