The line confirmed the steps to TTG on Wednesday (2 March) and said it was "deeply opposed" to the unfolding conflict in Ukraine and "heartbroken" for all the people who are impacted.

Viking will also replace scheduled stops in Russia for all 2022 ocean itineraries and guests and their travel agents on impacted departures are in the process of being notified.

On 24 February, Viking cancelled all 2022 departures of its Ukraine river itinerary.

A company spokesperson said the line was "continuing to evaluate" its 2023 itineraries.
