On August 14th, 2025, Viking confirmed details of its 2027–2028 World Cruise program. The Viking Vesta will depart Fort Lauderdale on December 28th, 2027 for a 142-day voyage, calling at 62 ports in 31 countries across 6 continents, before concluding in London on May 18th, 2028. The itinerary includes 16 overnight stays, providing extended opportunities for port exploration.
The voyage will commence in Central America, followed by a Panama Canal transit and a series of calls along the North American Pacific coast.
