VIKING HAVE just launched a new campaign offering explorers the chance to save money on their ocean, river & expedition voyages for 2024 and 2025.
The cruise line’s The Heart of Exploring’ initiative includes limited time flight offers of up to $2,000 flight credit per couple on new ocean bookings made before August 28.
Our campaign concept comes from the premise that Vikings were the original explorers, with curiosity in their blood, and we at Viking have mastered the art of exploring – taking our curious guests into the heart of a destination, making them feel looked after, providing a feeling of contentment, said Michelle Black, Viking ANZ Managing Director.
At the heart of Viking lies a profound commitment to guests’ happiness and we love nothing more than taking our guests to new destinations.
Nothing compares to the feeling of immersing yourself in the history and culture of a new city and allowing that experience to invigorate your drive to explore more.

The 13-day Into the Northwest Passage’ itinerary sails roundtrip from Nuuk, Greenland and features destinations including the Ilulissat Icefjord and the eastern entrance of the famed Northwest Passage in Pond Inlet, Canada.
Guests can also discover natural beauty and dramatic landscapes during the 15-day Canada & Greenland Explorer’ itinerary, which sails between Toronto and Nuuk.
Those interested in more in-depth exploration can choose the new 27-day Canada & the Northwest Passage’ itinerary, which features additional destinations above the Arctic Circle.
Our guests are curious travellers who are eager to explore new and different regions of the world, in Viking comfort, said Torstein Hagen, Chairman of Viking.
From the time of Leif Eriksson and the original Vikings, Greenland and the Canadian High Arctic have fascinated intrepid explorers.
