Whoopi Goldberg announces the talk show will broadcast a week of shows from Rome, Italy


LOS ANGELES -- La dolce vita is calling, and "The View" is answering!
During a live broadcast coinciding with Whoopi Goldberg's birthday, the host surprised the studio audience and viewers at home by revealing that the talk show will pack its bags for Rome in May 2027.
The trip overseas serves as a celebration for the show's 30th season on the air. Rather than a standard studio setup, the show will set up locations abroad for an entire week.
The broadcast will feature special guests alongside an itinerary exploring local culture, food and sights.
Along with Goldberg's birthday announcement, the show launched the first of four Season 30 sweepstakes. Viewers can head to theview.tv to enter for a chance to win a Mediterranean yacht trip for two on the Emerald Raiya.
Additional updates regarding the Italy broadcasts and sweepstakes will roll out as the show leads up to May 2027.
