Step aboard the stylish Viking Vela for an invigorating winter escape through the Mediterranean. Glide from Istanbul to Athens as you explore history-filled shores and iconic landmarks, and enjoy the quieter charm of off-season travel. With a two-night pre-cruise stay in Istanbul included, this voyage is the perfect combination of culture, comfort, and seasonal tranquillity.

• Begin your adventure with a two-night pre-cruise stay in Istanbul, where East meets West in a city alive with ancient wonders and timeless charm. Then, head off on your cruise where you will marvel at the ancient treasures of the Mediterranean.

• Visit Troy (Çanakkale), where tales of the Trojan War come to life, and walk amongst the ruins of Ephesus, one of the greatest archaeological sites in the world. Experience the charm of Rhodes, known for its rich medieval history and inviting coastal routes, and sail through the serene Ionian Sea, unravelling layers of history with every passing wave.

• By travelling at this time of year, you’ll see the Mediterranean at its most relaxed, with fewer crowds, comfortable temperatures, and a chance to experience iconic destinations in a way that's refreshingly calm and personal.

• Enjoy life on board as you sail the Ionian Sea in a spacious Veranda Stateroom, where every detail has been thoughtfully designed with your comfort in mind. Viking Vela offers a refined yet casual atmosphere with exceptional dining featuring regionally inspired dishes and a Nordic-inspired spa.
