Viking Cruises sets sail on a round the world trip

The 141-day trip, set to take to the seas on 15 December 2017, will see the Viking Ocean Cruises’ fourth ship, Viking Sun, sail from Miami, stopping at 66 destinations across 5 continents, including Sydney, Hong Kong and Malta, before finishing in London on 5 May 2018. The itinerary also includes the ship stopping at ports in areas affected by recent terror attacks, including Sharm el-Sheikh and Tunis. However, this is subject to change. The ship, which isn't classed as large, has 465 cabins, all with balconies, which can accommodate up to 930 passengers. The ship, which offers its customers free Wi-Fi throughout the journey, king size beds, business class flights, flat screen TVs, and all medical services, has the starting price of a whopping £30,798 per person. However, if guests can't dedicate nearly 5 months out at sea, they can join the cruise in Los Angeles 21 days later.
