Viking has announced that new dates for its India river voyages in 2027, 2028 and 2029 are available for booking. These dates include voyages on board the Viking Ganges, a new vessel designed specifically for the Brahmaputra River.
The Viking Ganges debuts in 2028 and will join her sister ship, the Viking Brahmaputra, set to begin operations in late 2027.
Both ships will sail between Guwahati and Nimati Ghat in the northeastern state of Assam on Viking’s new 15-day itinerary, Wonders of India. In addition to an eight-day river voyage, the itinerary includes a fully-guided land program.
Torstein Hagen, Chairman and CEO of Viking
Torstein Hagen is the Chairman and CEO of Viking and he said “Since announcing our new river voyages in India, we have seen strong interest from guests eager to explore this remarkable region.”
“By adding a second ship on the Brahmaputra River in 2028 and opening 2029 departure dates now, we look forward to inviting even more curious travelers to explore India in Viking comfort in the years to come.”
The Viking Ganges and the Viking Brahmaputra
The Viking Ganges and the Viking Brahmaputra are sister ships able to host 80 guests in 40 staterooms. Both feature the elegant Scandinavian design for which Viking is known, and all staterooms and suites will have floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors with a veranda.
Wonders of India
The 15-day Wonders of India itinerary is roundtrip from Delhi, with hotel stays in Delhi, Agra and Jaipur that bookend the eight-day Brahmaputra River voyage, sailing east or west. Guests enjoy 13 included tours and up to 10 UNESCO World Heritage Sites which highlight India’s cultural treasures.
Viking guests experience the rich history of India’s Golden Triangle, explore Agra’s fabled Taj Mahal, stroll through Old Delhi’s picturesque streets and gaze upon Jaipur’s elaborate Palace of Winds.
Along the Brahmaputra River, guests will see Guwahati’s temple as well as thriving villages, encounter the one-horned rhinos and buffalos of Kaziranga National Park and delight in the cultures of Majuli.
In addition, Viking is offering several new pre and post land extensions for the Wonders of India itinerary.
These include Delhi (two nights), Dubai (three nights; fully guided), Kathmandu (four nights; fully guided) and Cochin & Mumbai (five nights; fully guided).
