Viking Is Your Best Business Partner At Viking, our goal is to always deliver an outstanding experience to your clients and be your best business partner. We are honored that your clients recently named Viking #1 for Rivers, #1 for Oceans and #1 for Expeditions in Condé Nast Traveler’s 2024 Readers’ Choice Awards for the second year in a row —with additional recognition from you in the 2024 Recommend Readers’ Choice Awards. Beyond the award-winning experiences your clients receive, we believe our trade-friendly practices continue to set the standard in the industry. When Viking launched No NCFs (no non-commissionable fares) in 2010, our goal was to pay advisors like you what you truly deserve. 14 years later, our commitment to No NCFs remains and Viking continues to stand with you as your best business partner.What Makes Viking a Better Business Partner? • 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 Field: At 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-1730738066• The Most Lenient Takeover Policy in the Industry: Our 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 Marketing: Travel 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 You:
All 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. Plus, your clients can take advantage of exclusive onboard offers while you earn same commission percentage. Partner with us today! Visit Viking.com/partner to find out more.
