A Recap From Our Viking Ocean and River Cruises Event Held Last Night in Scottsdale, Arizona

Last night, Sandra Marshall (Viking Director, Business Development) flew in from California to share with 140+ people in our sold-out event about what’s new at Viking Ocean and River Cruises.

After noshing on hot appetizers and a glass of wine, here is a recap of what we learned:

What’s New at Viking Ocean and River Cruises

• The Viking river cruise fleet now stands at 70 ships in Europe, five ships in Russia, two ships in Asia, one ship in Ukraine, and three ships sailing the Nile River in Egypt.
• Viking’s ocean cruise fleet currently stands at six ships with another ship being delivered in 2020.
• Viking river cruise ships continue to be the world’s most award-winning with 22 years of experience.
• Viking ocean cruise ships began sailing in 2015, and a year later, Viking’s new ships began stacking up “World’s Best” awards.
• Viking will soon be announcing two new expedition ships that will be sailing in the polar regions beginning in 2022. Carol and I will be flying to California next week to meet with Viking executives for the official announcement.  Stay tuned for more on that in the coming weeks.
• We are also beginning to hear rumblings about Viking soon sailing in the Galapagos Islands, the Mississippi River, and even the Great Lakes.  We’ll be sure to keep you informed on these exciting announcements when they are available.
• Viking’s signature river cruise is the Grand European Tour.  This 15-day river cruise sails both the Rhine and Danube rivers and sails from Amsterdam to Budapest.  Viking is currently running a special offer on this sailing with significant discounts and free round-trip airfare.  Call us for details.
• Viking signature ocean cruise is the Viking Homelands cruise. This 15-day ocean cruise sails Northern Europe and includes stops in Norway, Denmark, Germany, Poland, Estonia, Finland, and Russia. This is Viking’s back yard.  They have deep roots in the area and dedicate three ships to this region every summer.
• Sandra shared with the group that there is no financial incentive to booking directly with Viking.  In fact, she shared, there are often financial incentives to booking Viking cruises through a professional travel advisor. An example of these incentives is that Roaming Boomers Travel Services has a $200 shipboard credit to add to all Viking bookings made through our company through Jan 22nd.  In addition, because we are the #2 booking agents for Viking Cruises in the world, we also bring you complimentary VIP booking services for your airline tickets on Viking Cruises.  This means that you’ll be getting your airline seats 7-8 months before everyone else.  This is a significant complimentary benefit that we bring to our clients.
