April is shaping up to be a challenging month for the global travel industry, with disruptions in the Middle East, fluctuating fuel prices, and volatile investment markets collectively dampening consumer confidence in purchasing travel packages. In response to these headwinds, Viking is rolling out a series of compelling April deals designed to entice travelers with significant savings on future voyages.
River Cruise Discounts
For river enthusiasts, Viking is offering up to 35 percent off on 2026-2028 itineraries for the 12-day Paris to the Swiss Alps voyage, which travels between Paris and Zürich. Prices start from $3,395 per person for a standard stateroom, provided bookings are made by June 30, 2026, for a departure on November 7, 2026. Additionally, during April 2026 only, past Viking guests will benefit from an automatic doubling of the past guest discount on river, ocean, and expedition voyages. This means a discount of $400 per couple within 12 months of the guest's last voyage is increased to $800 per couple, while a $200 per couple discount after 12 months becomes $400 per couple.
Ocean Voyage Offers
On the ocean front, Viking's 17-day Komodo and the Australian Coast voyage, sailing from Bali to Sydney or vice versa, also features up to 35 percent off for 2026-2028 itineraries. The journey starts from $6,245 per person in a veranda stateroom for a November 25, 2026, departure, with bookings required before June 30, 2026. Past guests booking in April 2026 will receive the same doubled discount as applied to river cruises, enhancing the value of these extended maritime adventures.
Expedition Cruise Savings
For those seeking more adventurous travel, Viking is providing up to 35 percent off on the 13-day Antarctic Explorer voyage from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia, available for 2026-2028 itineraries. Prices begin at $18,645 per person in a Nordic balcony stateroom, with bookings needed by June 30, 2026, for a departure on November 16, 2027. The same bonus discounts for previous Viking sailors apply, making this polar expedition more accessible during the promotional period.
