Viking Releases More Sailing Dates for India River Voyages through 2029

Viking has released new dates for its India river voyages in 2027, 2028, and 2029, all of which are now open for booking. These additional dates include sailings on the Viking Ganges, a new vessel designed specifically for the Brahmaputra River. Set to debut in 2028, Viking Ganges will join sister ship Viking Brahmaputra, which is set to begin sailing in late 2027.

Both ships will sail between Guwahati and Nimati Ghat in the northeastern state of Assam as part of Viking’s new 15-day itinerary, Wonders of India. In addition to an eight-day river voyage, the itinerary includes a fully-guided land program. 

“Since announcing our new river voyages in India, we have seen strong interest from guests eager to explore this remarkable region,” said Torstein Hagen, chairman and CEO of Viking. “By adding a second ship on the Brahmaputra River in 2028 and opening 2029 departure dates now, we look forward to inviting even more curious travelers to explore India in Viking comfort in the years to come.”

Both the Viking Brahmaputra and Viking Ganges will host 80 passengers in 40 staterooms. All staterooms and suites will have floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors with a veranda.

The 15-day Wonders of India itinerary will operate roundtrip from Delhi, with hotel stays in Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur that bracket an eight-day Brahmaputra River voyage, sailing east or west. With 13 included tours, guests will be immersed in India’s cultural treasures and will have the opportunity to experience as many as 10 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Highlights include the Taj Mahal, Old Delhi, the Kaziranga National Park, and more.

For additional immersion opportunities, Viking is also offering a variety of new pre and post land extensions for Wonders of India, including Delhi (two nights), Dubai (three nights; fully guided), Kathmandu (four nights; fully guided) and Cochin & Mumbai (five nights; fully guided).
