I would like to be part of the class. I have felt directly with Viking and can’t register because I don’t give a name a travel agent. I have paid for a cruise 2021.
Please help me to register.

We just joined the “..magic of European Christmas markets” and enjoyed it very much. It was not promotional and was about 45 minutes. Thanks for bringing forth this opportunity. We’ve signed up for another tomorrow! This certainly piqued our interest in the market adventures – now if COVID would just go away or become a little less risky for the mass gatherings. Thanks again.
Hi Susan,
We’ve been getting good feedback so far. We’re glad that you’re enjoying the classroom-style programs and we like the fact that they are not promotional on these as well. Have fun and when you’re ready to book something, we’ve got some extra goodies for your booking. 🙂
We joined the Christmas market presentation and then today, Paris and Normandy. Both were excellent and very informative. Loved the recommendations of the optional excursions. We missed the Grand European Tour which we really wanted to attend. Were these recorded for viewing at a later time for those who work and cannot be available for the presentations?
Thank you for providing this glimpse into the many different cruises offered. Lots to add to our bucket list.
Hi Shelia,
I’m pleased to hear that you are enjoying these virtual events. Here is a link to the Grand European Tour: https://zoom.us/rec/share/5NwoDbeg_TlJY53jylD-UbYnR6_veaa82nQW-6ZYnhlUyEuQaVHpJKcZzz3W0JAE
Hi David and Carol – we just registered. Looking forward to seeing the various “journeys” ! and to being able to cruise again in safety (and comfort) !
Hi Kent,
Enjoy. We’ve been getting good feedback. 🙂
Hi David. I watched a couple classes this week and found them really interesting. Is there a way my husband can watch them in the evening? A recorded version of what I saw? Thanks.
Hi Grace,
If you tell me which classes you are interested in viewing, I can get links for you to watch the recordings. Thanks. Great to hear from you. 🙂
I would like to watch Viking Age – Shores and Fjords and also Scenic Fjords Towns and Cities, Viking Homelands. I found the link and registered but I need a password to watch on demand. Can you help? Thanks.

David,
I am booked on two upcoming Viking cruises and would like to know what the advantages of booking through you are.
Specifically, such items as can you provide cheaper airfare, would I still receive my prior guest discount from Viking and would I be eligible for cabin upgrades.
Thanks,
Chris
Hi Christopher,
Thanks for stopping by with your questions. In a more general way, you might enjoy this article: https://www.theroamingboomers.com/best-way-to-book-an-ocean-or-river-cruise/.
Specifically, if everyone takes truth serum, the price of a Viking cruise is the price, and no one is allowed to offer a better price for the cruise or air. Despite the nonsense found on the Internet. We are the #2 booking agents for Viking globally, and our connections and knowledge of their company and cruises in quite unparalleled.
Having said that, our clients receive complimentary VIP access to their AirPlus for airline bookings. Our clients are booked at least a half-year ahead of the rest, AND we make the bookings on your behalf. Of course, our experience and expertise have sailed with Viking numerous times, but we are also quite familiar with the destinations. Further, as we are also affiliated with Virtuoso and Cadence, it is not uncommon for us to have additional shipboard credits to add to your booking. So, from a practical point of view, you will find no benefits to do-it-yourself, and our clients are often amazed by important tips and tidbits that they were not aware of. For example, should you sail upstream or downstream on a river cruise? Therefore, I would welcome your call to discuss the specifics of the cruises you’ve mentioned. Thanks. You can reach me at 480-550-1235. 🙂
Do you have a list or know of other single women that are looking to take the European grand tour but have no one to share the cabin with? I am a retired teacher that loves to travel. Thank you.
Hi Berta, I’m sorry, we don’t. I wish the cruise lines would put a cruise-partner match service on their websites. We get asked this question quite a bit. Having said that, there are other cruise lines that are currently waiving single supplements. So, if you don’t mind traveling alone, shoot me an email and I’ll fill you in on the details.
