Roundtrip departures are set to commence from Portsmouth from May 22, 2021.
Viking has announced it will restart a limited programme of domestic sailings from May 2021, with three staycation cruises exploring the English coast.
Exclusively available to UK guests, the eight-day itinerary, 'England's Scenic Shores', will sail its roundtrip from Portsmouth on May 22, May 29 and June 5, 2021. The itinerary will serve as the inaugural sailing for Viking's newest ship, Viking Venus.
Chairman of Viking, Torstein Hagen, explained: ?We are in a position to restart operations quickly and to start sailing again in May because we have kept our ships crewed during warm lay-up throughout the past 12 months. We have been implementing our additional protocols, including daily quick and easy non-invasive saliva PCR tests for our crew, for almost six months now. With our new protocol enhancements in place, we believe there will be no safer way to travel the world than on a Viking voyage and we look forward to welcoming UK guests back on board very soon.?
