We love Viking Cruises! Let’s just put that out there for a start – and our clients love them too – with repeat bookings being proof of the pudding.
So, when a cruise line like Viking has a sale, it’s a major event. With a huge range of dates, itineraries and various offers, sometimes the details, rules and conditions can be confusing. That’s why we’ve simplified the latest “Viking Spring Sale and Fly Free” offers here in our latest blog.
Simply refer to one of three sections – River, Ocean or Expedition – find your year of departure and offer, and then send us your preferred dates and itineraries and we will do the rest.
