Viking Orion was recently home to a group of 476 Australian and New Zealand guests – representing more than half the ship’s guest capacity – as the 930-guest ship sailed the 23-day North Pacific Passage between Vancouver and Tokyo via Alaska and Russia.
“This is the greatest number of Australians and New Zealanders we have ever hosted on a single Viking cruise, and is testament to the appeal of our style of cruising and our incredibly unique itineraries,” said Michelle Black, Viking’s Managing Director ANZ.
“Viking’s North Pacific Passage is a truly unique cruise itinerary, taking guests from Canada to Japan via Alaska and Russia, all the while offering a comprehensive Viking enrichment program that allows our guests to immerse themselves in these incredible destinations,” she concluded.
Onboard Viking Orion, the Australian and New Zealand guests enjoyed a warm welcome from the ship’s crew, who hosted a special cocktail party for the contingent plus ensured the galleys were stocked up on staples such as Vegemite.
