I just finished the game but I don't see any option. It would be a shame of there wasn't as I didn't fully level up Geralt during the game. Also would be fun storming through the game with my badass loot.
All RPG games should have a new game +
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings
Game » consists of 16 releases. Released May 17, 2011
The sequel to 2007's critically acclaimed role-playing game, The Witcher. Players again take control of Geralt of Rivia in this story-focused adventure.
No New Game +?
You can't import from Witcher 2 into Witcher 2. Most RPGs lack New Game +, and if you started off the Witcher 2 at level 36 it would be an incredibly boring grind. New Game + doesn't always make a second playthrough a better one.

More choices > less choices
I have no problem with New Game +, but more choices is not always superior. Considering that development cycles are not unlimited, the more features you add to the game that you choose not to completely half-ass the more resources you are burning. Also consider that you are restricting your choices in gameplay by providing a New Game + because that new character isn't going to get enough experience on an additional playthrough to explore a new branch of skillpoints. To play again from the beginning is to create a new character from the start.
All RPG games should have a new game +Overwhelming majority of WRPGs don't.
There are many reasons for it.
WRPGs pack in a lot of content and the leveling systems are specifically designed and balanced.
Furthermore WRPGs place a big deal on story and world continuity/immersion. New game + flies completely in the face of that concept.
That's just of the top of my head.
The only recent WRPG game I can recall having a feature is ME2, and that's because the progression in the game is barely meaningful and all enemies are auto scaled. The game is mostly a shooter anyway.
(arguably no western RPGs has newgame+ , since many people do not consider ME2 or Diablo to be an RPG)

It's extremely easy to just start a new game and give yourself max level or a huge amount of money, etc ...
