January was the best single month for bookings in Viking history, according to the cruise company.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Viking said 18 of its all-time top 20 booking days happened in January, including the best single day in its 25-year history.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The news comes as several cruise lines and travel agencies have raved about a blockbuster, record-breaking Wave season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to Viking, Europe has remained a popular destination between its river and oceangoing ships, with some itineraries nearly sold out for the 2023 season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In response to strong demand, the company has opened 2025 sailing dates on select ocean itineraries, including an eight-day sailing between Barcelona and Rome, a 10-day voyage between Venice and Athens and a 15-day cruise between Bergen and Stockholm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Viking has added 15 ships to its fleet since 2020, including eight Longships, three purpose-built river ships, two ocean ships and two expedition vessels that sail in Antarctica and the Great Lakes.<\/p>\n
