Following strong interest when it was first released, Viking has added 12 new departures of its 17-day Iberian Odyssey voyage.
The decision offers advisors additional opportunities to book one of the company’s most distinctive River & Ocean Combination itineraries for travel between Q4 2027 and Q3 2028.
Sailing between Barcelona and Porto, ‘Iberian Odyssey’ combines Mediterranean ocean cruising with an immersive journey along Portugal’s celebrated Douro River, bringing together two styles of travel in one seamless itinerary.
The voyage showcases the best of the Iberian Peninsula, from the architectural treasures of Barcelona and the maritime heritage of Lisbon to the vineyard-covered landscapes of the UNESCO-listed Douro Valley, birthplace of port wine.
