In response to demand, Viking has released a vast 2023 selection of its most popular Europe, Russia, Egypt and Southeast Asia river cruises for sale – the first major river cruise operator to do so.

This exclusive preview of 2023 departures is available at 2020 prices when booked before 31 August 2020, offering savings of up to $4,600 per couple* on selected itineraries while enjoying the peace of mind that only Viking’s Risk-Free Guarantee can deliver, with the freedom to change plans up to 24 hours before departure.

Viking’s early release of 2023 sailings provides Australian and New Zealand travellers with an opportunity to snap up Viking’s typically very popular brand-new ships, including Viking Osiris sailing the Nile River in Egypt, Viking Saigon sailing the Mekong River in Southeast Asia and Viking Mississippi, launching in the heart of America.

“We know travellers are seeking certainty in order to plan their future travels, which is why we’ve opened 2023 departures for sale before any other major river cruise line. Now is the time to plan ahead for your pick of dates, staterooms and value for money for our 2023 departures – and of course, enjoy the confidence that only Viking’s Risk-Free Guarantee can deliver,” said Michelle Black, Managing Director of Viking ANZ.
