Viking announced two new river voyages for 2030 that will offer guests the opportunity to experience the renowned Passion Play in Oberammergau, Germany, which has been performed every 10 years for nearly 400 years. With departure dates from May through September 2030, the new Oberammergau, Innsbruck & the Rhine and Oberammergau with Salzburg itineraries both feature preferred seating at the 43rd Passion Play and allow guests time to explore Bavaria and destinations along the Rhine and Danube rivers, respectively.
“Our guests are curious travelers who value meaningful cultural experiences and a deeper understanding of the places they visit,” said Leah Talactac, President and CEO of Viking. “We have welcomed guests to the Oberammergau Passion Play for two previous installments and are pleased to introduce these new itineraries for 2030. By pairing this extraordinary event with a Rhine or Danube voyage, guests can explore some of Europe’s most historic destinations while experiencing a tradition that has endured for nearly 400 years.”
Since 2010, Viking has hosted guests for this event, and the company is the #1 North American partner of the Passion Play organizers. This relationship allows Viking to plan years ahead and to integrate the Passion Play into itineraries, which include sailings on Viking Longships.
