VIKING Cruises has opened sales of its highly anticipated new Viking Expedition Cruises product (TD breaking news), with past passengers and their travel agents being offered a selection of departures in 2022.
The long-rumoured Viking Expedition product (TD 09 Feb 2018) is based on an initial order for two ships, which the company today confirmed would be named Viking Octantis and Viking Polaris.
The 378-passenger ships will operate itineraries out of Tromso, Norway exploring the Arctic, while Antarctic voyages currently on offer will cruise from Ushuaia and Buenos Aires.
Past passengers in the USA received a mailout overnight promoting selected 2022 departures on the new product, with a Viking spokesperson telling TD “we are not providing any additional information at this point, but we will unveil all details about our new Expedition product when it is publicly announced in Jan”.
Viking Expedition Cruises is the company’s third brand, joining its existing fleet of river ships as well as the highly popular Viking Ocean Cruises product.
