Travelers might not be sailing the seas this year because of the ongoing pandemic that has been the coronavirus, but that doesn’t mean they can’t start planning their dream trips for next year. As a matter of fact, Viking Cruises, which is known for its class, style, and comfort, recently announced that they will bring along guests for a 136-day world cruise to 56 different ports. Here’s what you need to know.

Even though there are still several Covid-19 hotspots in the world, which include the United States, Brazil, Russia, and even South Africa, Viking Cruises is looking to the future. The highly-rated cruise line is known for providing river, ocean, and expedition journeys and is looking to bring guests on an unforgettable journey that will hopefully let them put all of the worries and troubles from this year into the past the moment they step onboard their luxurious cruise line.

“This has been an unusual year for all travelers, but we remain focused on the future and are pleased to offer our guests a new destination-focused World Cruise that allows for extensive exploration in 2021-2022,” said Torstein Hagen, the cruise line’s chairman, in a statement.

The Viking Star will carry 930 passengers and will head to Central America before making its way through the Panama Canal and North America’s West Coast. It will then cross through the Pacific Ocean and make stops in Hawaii, New Zealand, Australia, and many parts through Asia, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean.

For those looking to make such a journey, the 136-day cruise will start at $49,995 per person, should they choose to begin in Fort Lauderdale.
