Viking Cruises launches three new Bali cruise extensions to its 17-day Komodo & the Australian Coast and the 13-day Bangkok, Bali & Beyond ocean itineraries in 2018 and 2019.
With Bali being an enduring favourite with Australian and New Zealand travellers, guests can now maximise their holiday and enjoy additional days pre or post their cruise to explore more of Bali’s lush landscape, delicious food and rich culture. The new extensions include the 3-day Bali, the 4-day Ubud, and the 5-day Bali & Yogyakarta.
“Bali is our exotic neighbour with which we have an enduring, adoring relationship”, says Lubica Sibikova, Product Manager Viking Cruises. “We are pleased we can now offer three immersive cruise extensions to this Indonesian gem, when our award-winning ocean fleet begins sailing these waters in November 2018.”
