Viking (www.viking.com) has launched a breakthrough travel product: the “Spirit of Mongolia” extension program. For the first time, Viking travelers can embark on a five-night, fully guided tour that dives deep into the heart of Mongolia’s rich heritage, from the bustling streets of Ulaanbaatar to the vast Gobi Desert.
A journey through time and tradition Viking Cruises Chairman Torstein Hagen expressed his excitement for the new venture, saying: “We are excited to expand our new China ocean voyages with immersive experiences in Mongolia. Our guests are curious. Soul, a journey that expands your horizons. With its vast geographical diversity and deep history, Mongolia offers extraordinary adventures that perfectly complement our China itineraries for guests starting in Ulaanbaatar. There you will meet Viking representatives and explore the city’s landmarks, including the National Museum of Genghis Khan. The journey continues to Dharanzadgad, transitioning to the tranquil Three Camel Lodge in the Gobi Desert. Here, guests will dress in modern gear and experience activities such as archery, camel safaris and trekking to flaming cliffs.
Exploring Beyond: Extension in China In addition to the Mongolian experience, Viking offers four other pre- and post-expansion services in China. These extensions range from three to four nights and provide comprehensive cultural immersion. Guests can explore the historical wonders of Beijing, the vibrant metropolis of Hong Kong, and the natural beauty of Guilin and Suzhou.
