What makes Viking a better business partner?
No NCFs
Viking remains the first—and only—cruise line to always pay commission on all aspects of your clients’
bookings. This includes cruise, air, port charges, taxes, fees and so much more!
A Level Playing Field
At Viking, we believe everyone should pay the same price regardless of distribution channel so we
ended our relationship with Costco in 2017 and do not allow rebating.
The Most Lenient Takeover Policy in the Industry
Travel Advisors have 60 days to take over any direct booking which we believe is the most trade-
friendly policy in existence.
Travel Advisor Call to Action in Marketing
Viking has always prominently featured “Call your Travel Advisor” on every Viking brochure as well as
the Viking website.
Onboard Bookings Automatically Transfer to You
All bookings made on board automatically transfer to the travel agency that originated the client so
Travel Advisors can confidently recommend that clients book while sailing with us.
