The second departs Los Angeles and returns to London and will visit 29 countries and 55 ports during the 119 days.
 
Torstein Hagen, Chairman, Viking Ocean Cruises, said: “For more than 20 years we have been offering guests the most culturally immersive journeys available in the industry and we are pleased to announce the most extensive itinerary in our history. Our World Cruises offer guests the rare opportunity to unpack once and explore dozens of the best destinations on earth – at a value that is unprecedented in the travel industry."
