In the first year that Reader’s Digest Trusted Brands Awards of Australia has featured river cruise operators in a dedicated category, Viking has come out in first place.

Viking has unveiled its 2025-2027 World Voyages Collection, featuring the 142-day Viking World Cruise 2026-2027 which will visit 31 countries.

As part of a new incentive, Viking’s top performing advisors will embark on a 15-day journey aboard the soon-to-launch Viking Vela, cruising through the scenic fjords, charming towns and iconic cities of Northern Europe.

In this week’s interview, LATTE chats exclusively with Michelle Black, Managing Director for Australia and New Zealand at Viking Cruises.
