Viking opens 2027 dates for Magnificent Mekong

by Rose White

The 2027 sailing season of Viking’s 15-day Magnificent Mekong cruisetour is now open for sale. The Viking Tonle, set to debut on the Mekong River in October 2025, means Viking will have two river ships sailing this region and a total of 70 departure dates in 2027 to meet strong consumer demand for Mekong voyages.

Built specifically to navigate the Mekong River, the 80-guest Viking Tonle will join its identical sister ship, Viking Saigon, which debuted in 2022. They will sail between Kampong Cham, Cambodia and Mỹ Tho, Vietnam, as part of Viking’s popular 15-day Magnificent Mekong itinerary.
