A new year always signals to me new opportunities
and destinations to explore. Whether you are a
seasoned traveller or novice explorer, there is always
something fascinating to discover about the world.
This edition of Viking Explorer Society News is packed
full of inspiration to help you start planning your next
journey. Inside these pages you'll find the trending
destinations of 2025, new ports to explore that have
never before been visited by Viking, hidden gems
that will take you off the beaten path, film inspiration
from across the globe and the Viking team shares
where they would like to travel this year.
We spotlight Antarctica–the most unexplored
continent on Earth. In this section of the magazine,
you will find first-hand accounts of Viking Antarctic
voyages, as well as photography advice and packing
lists. We also talk to Explore TV host Trevor Cochrane
where he shares his favourite moments filming the
Antarctic series with Viking.
You will also find city guides for Athens, Shanghai,
Bratislava and Luxor, as well as travel writers sharing
their experiences in Tuscany, New Orleans, the Greek
islands, the Caribbean, Norway and more. And for the
summer table? You'll discover recipes from across the
globe, such as a fragrant jerk chicken and a tuna
ceviche.
I hope you have a wonderful year, full of enriching
experiences.
Warmest regards,
Michelle Black
