Viking’s Alaska season is underway  with the first 23-day North Pacific Passage itinerary from Tokyo aboard the Viking Orion currently occurring. 

The sailing explores Japan and Canada alongside Alaska, and will operate two additional departures this season, with the final departing 23 September 2026.

Viking’s signature 11-day Alaska & the Inside Passage itinerary is operating from Vancouver on Viking Venus, with 22 departures scheduled across the season, and the final departing 13 September 2026.

 While much of the market is centred on seven-night sailings, Viking’s 11-day Alaska & the Inside Passage voyage allows for additional ports and a more balanced pace. This allows for broader exploration of the region with more time onshore to experience each destination, including greater opportunities for wildlife encounters, without feeling rushed. 

Viking’s Alaska features one complimentary excursion in every port, smaller ships providing closer access and onboard historians and lecturers adding depth and context.

Longer sailings naturally pair with pre and post-cruise extensions, giving guests the flexibility to turn the trip into a more comprehensive holiday, whether through guided journeys like the Rocky Mountaineer Journey or Denali Explorer, or additional time in gateway cities like Vancouver and Anchorage.

Also available for clients seeking extended travel are the 37-day Far East & Alaska and 79-day Australia, Asia & Alaska initineraries.
