1. New “Amalfi Coast, Africa & Iberia”

During this new eight-day Mediterranean itinerary from Civitavecchia (Rome) to Barcelona, Spain, travelers will explore destinations within Italy, Tunisia and Spain. What’s nice is that five tours are included in Viking’s fare.

Admire the Amalfi Coast’s beauty within the pretty town of Salerno. Gaze at the ancient Roman harbor of Carthage in La Goulette, Tunisia. And treat yourself to tasty paella, a signature dish of freshly cooked seafood and rice, at Valencia, Spain!

At press time, pricing started at $2,999 per person, double occupancy. But you can get the best deal with Pavlus Travel, which offers a terrific discount plus an added-value perk, so give us a call today at 800-528-9300.

2. New “Spain & Portugal Discovery”

Sailing between Lisbon, Portugal, and Barcelona, Spain, Viking’s new eight-day “Spain & Portugal Discovery” itinerary includes time for visiting Seville, Malaga and the spectacular Alhambra Palace in Granada, all in Spain.

Also, guests will visit Spain’s Balearic Islands at Palma de Mallorca and delve into North African culture at Tangier, Morocco. “And while your ship is docked at Barcelona, be sure to head out to explore Antoni Gaudi’s many incredible architectural wonders including the spectacular Sagrada Familia, a massive, still unfinished church that’s more than a century old,” suggests Shelby Steudle, president, Pavlus Travel.

Cruise pricing at press time started at $3,299 per person, double occupancy. But that Viking price doesn’t include the discount and onboard credit that you’ll automatically receive for booking with Pavlus Travel, one of the world’s top five Viking sellers. Give us a call: 800-528-9300.

3. New “British Isles & Ireland”

For those seeking a bit lengthier vacation, Pavlus Travel would suggest checking out the link above for Viking’s new “British Isles & Ireland” itinerary. Spanning 15 days, this journey will take guests in pampering comfort on a well-planned route between London, U.K., and Belfast, Northern Ireland.

At Fort William, Scotland, travelers can behold the splendor of Ben Nevis, the largest mountain in the British Isles. And during an Ireland port call, travelers can visit the ancient city of Limerick. That city is home to the historic King John’s Castle on the banks of the River Shannon.

In the U.K., the ship will also call at Cornwall, England, and the Scottish destinations of Greenock and Tobermory. “Best of all, this voyage is nicely ‘bookended’ with overnight stays in London and Belfast,” says Pavlus Travel’s Steudle.

At press time, pricing started at $7,999 per person, double occupancy. After you check out the itinerary, talk to one of Pavlus Travel’s expert personal travel planners at 800-528-9300. You’ll be rewarded with the guaranteed lowest price on a Viking cruise plus an onboard credit.

4. New “Iberia, France & England Explorer”

This razzle-dazzle, 12-day Viking itinerary begins with an overnight in Lisbon, Portugal. Then guests travel within the Atlantic Ocean with calls at Porto (Leixoes), Portugal; A Coruna and Bilbao, Spain; Bordeaux and Honfleur (Paris), France; and Dover, England. The voyage ends in Greenwich (London).

One art-and-architectural highlight? At Bilbao, Portugal, be sure to tour the impressive Guggenheim Museum and explore the city’s quaint old town. If you’re a foodie, it’s also a “must” to taste Bilbao’s delicious “pintxos” — the Basque version of “tapas.”

When calling at Porto, Portugal, we’d suggest a visit to view and photograph the Capela das Almas, sporting a lovely blue-tile exterior. At press time, Viking’s pricing started at $4,999 per person, double occupancy.

That said, be sure to get the best guaranteed price for a Viking cruise and also the added perk of Pavlus Travel’s onboard credit for both solo travelers and couples. Call now at 800-528-9300.

5. New “Scandinavian Discovery”

Travelers will visit gorgeous fjords, remote locales and bustling cities during Viking’s new, eight-day “Scandinavian Discovery” itinerary. Traveling between Oslo, Norway, and Stockholm, Sweden, the ship will operate multiple 2027 departure dates.

Best of all, Viking includes six guided tours within each guest’s cruise fare. Ports of call include Gothenburg, Sweden; Copenhagen, Denmark; Karlskrona and Gotland (Visby), Sweden; and Mariehamn in the remote Åland Islands, an autonomous Finnish territory.

Also, an overnight stay in Stockholm, Sweden, provides plenty of time to explore Nordic history, art and local culture. At press time, pricing started at $3,999 per person, double occupancy.

“Why not call us at 800-528-9300 to learn more about this enticing voyage, all the accommodations options, and how you can secure the best price and value,” stresses Pavlus Travel’s Steudle. “There’s no obligation, and we’re here to assist with no service fee ever.”

Many other new Viking cruise itineraries are also on tap for 2026 and 2027 including many in the Baltic region. Talk with Pavlus about all the options. Another perk of the new lineup is that Viking’s ships will call at 12 “maiden” ports of call.
