LOS ANGELES — Viking has six new itineraries in Asia that will expand exclusive access for passengers to Japan and China, with Tibet (Xizang) in 2025.

The new voyages range from 15 to 22 days and explore iconic destinations in China, including Shanghai, Beijing, Xi’an and Lhasa in Tibet (Xizang), as well as Osaka, Japan.

Now open for booking, the new itineraries will operate from September 2025 to November 2025 on the Viking Yi Dun ­– formerly the Viking Sun – a sister ship featuring the same design and service as all other ocean ships in Viking’s fleet.

“We are proud to open our second season of these unique itineraries featuring exploration of the China coast – something that is entirely exclusive to Viking,” said Viking Chairman and CEO Torstein Hagen.

“For centuries, these phenomenal destinations in Asia have inspired travellers with ancient history and rich culture. Our guests are curious travellers who travel as a way to broaden their minds, and we look forward to introducing more of Asia to them in 2025,” he added.
