Both Viking Venus and Viking Sea will homeport in the Maltese capital city of Valletta—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—and sail two different 11-day roundtrip itineraries in the Mediterranean. Guests on the new Malta & Adriatic Jewels itinerary will overnight in Valletta and then sail to Montenegro and Croatia, calling in Kotor, Dubrovnik, Split, Zadar and Šibenik, before returning to the Maltese archipelago, with a stop in Gozo and finally back to Valletta.
