• 15 Years Celebrating Travel Advisors with No NCFs
Viking remains the first—and only—cruise line to always offer No NCFs. We feel you should get rewarded for your hard work, so we pay commission on all aspects of your clients’ bookings. This includes cruise, air, port charges, taxes, fees, pre- and post-cruise extensions, optional shore excursions and so much more!• A Level Playing FieldAt Viking, we believe everyone should pay the same price regardless of distribution channel. Additionally, we affirm that the quality of Advisor service should not be driven by price alone so we ended our relationship with Costco in 2017 and do not allow rebating.Recommend Standard Image Template-1736793394• The Most Lenient Takeover Policy in the IndustryOur marketing efforts are designed to help you increase your sales. That’s why we value and respect the advisor to client relationship and allow Travel Advisors 60 days from date of booking to take over any direct booking which we believe is among the most lenient in the entire industry.• Travel Advisor Call to Action in MarketingTravel Advisors are an integral and important part of our business. That is why “call your Travel Advisor” has always been prominently featured on every Viking brochure as well as the Viking website to ensure you are always included in our marketing efforts.• Onboard Bookings Automatically Transfer to YouAll bookings made onboard automatically transfer to the original travel agency that originated the client so Travel Advisors can confidently recommend that clients book on board with us.
