14 Night British Isles Explorer aboard the Viking Vela

Share

Join the Viking Vela and prepare yourself for fourteen nights of refreshing cruising through the sea from Tilbury to Bergen!

This sailing is notable because you'll exclusively stop at rare stops like Tilbury, Ullapool, and Holyhead. This route is an interesting one for the Viking Vela. In fact, this is the only time it's scheduled to sail it!

We include all meals, entertainment, port charges, and taxes in the price, so there are no sneaky extra fees. What makes this cruise special is that right now you can reserve a balcony balcony stateroom for the interior price!
