Once the world is vaccinated and the pandemic subsides, many will be craving a cruise again.\u00a0Viking Cruises\u00a0has a new\u00a0138-day World Cruise\u00a0that might be the most relaxing way to (almost) circle the globe. It visits some of the world\u2019s most famous destinations on almost every continent.<\/p>\n

For those with a little less time on their hands, there\u2019s also the 121-day\u00a0Viking World Journeys\u00a0which goes to many of the same ports. It begins January 8, 2023.<\/p>\n

Start in Florida, end in England, see the world in between<\/h2>\n

Viking\u2019s World Cruise begins on December 22, 2022 in Fort Lauderdale. It first stops in Cozumel, Mexico, and then sails to Cartagena in\u00a0Colombia. After transiting the Panama Canal, it stops in\u00a0Costa Rica\u00a0and Nicaragua. The ship then heads north to Cabo and California before crossing the Pacific to Hawaii and then sails to several\u00a0French Polynesian islands.<\/p>\n

After crossing the International Date Line, you\u2019ll stop at several New Zealand ports before going to nine different stops in\u00a0Australia. Next up is Indonesia, Vietnam,\u00a0Thailand,\u00a0Singapore, and Burma\/Myanmar, and then on to\u00a0Sri Lanka, India, Oman,\u00a0Jordan, Egypt, and\u00a0Israel\u00a0before heading into the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n

Stops in the Med include Greece,\u00a0Turkey, Italy,\u00a0Monaco, Spain, and Portugal. After crossing the English Channel, you\u2019ll see the white cliffs of Dover on day 136 and know it\u2019s almost time to become a landlubber again. The last two days of the cruise are spent in Greenwich, England, the gateway to London.<\/p>\n
