Cities of Antiquity & the Holy Land on Viking Venus

Witness the revered and the sacred during an inspiring 15-day voyage framed by enriching time spent in the history-rich capitals of antiquity, Rome and Athens. Visit Naples, gateway to Pompeii, and Crete, home of the legendary Minotaur. In Israel, a day in Ashdod and an overnight in Haifa put the holiest sites within reach: Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Nazareth and more.
