Thinking about doing a Viking River Cruise. Wondering if anyone knows a local travel agency that specializes in them?

Before the virus there was a local company that put on numerous seminars about them but do not remember their name. Attended one and was interesting.

Might be advertising in local paper though.

Who knows when cruises will even be back.

you might give the local Triple A office over on 441 a call, they may not specialize in Viking, but they book a lot of travel for folks

we still use the TA that we have for decades...she thinks that Viking is pricey...and tells us that there are a lot of companies doing the same river cruises, just as nice and less $$$

have fun

One more thought.

a number of TA's do post on here and might specialize in river cruises.

Costco Travel. Great deals.

We have taken 5 Viking cruises. You dont need a travel agent to book them. Go on line or call. Once booked Viking takes care of pretty much everything. Great company.

I agree with others, Viking is pricey. We go with Overseas Adventure Travel OAT) and Grand Circle Travel ( GCT). Same type of ship, cheaper, and a great adventure. If you would like more information, you are invited to send me an email at Brislenn@aol.com.

We enjoyed V iking from Amsterdam to Budapest. Check them all, see what you get (tours, meals, drinks, etc. ) We plan on doing a Viking ocean cruise in Norway in fall 21 and would conside a Viking Panama Canal in the future. AAA did our Amsterdam trip for us.

I have taken 6 Viking cruises, to include Ocean and river. I have booked directly with Viking.
It’s worth the cost. Ships are smaller than most others and more intimate Ships are beautiful and an excursion is included in every port.

We did the Viking Grand Cruise for 15 days between Amsterdam and Budapest. They had many discounts on the cruise and airfare from DTW. It was great. Food, trips, size of room. Don't know other lines, but Viking is the top as far as I'm concerned. Their ratings show it too.

We did one a couple of years ago and just booked through the Viking company. They were very helpful.

We used kevins@cruiseweb.com +1 (240) 485-1118 to book our river cruise. He deals with all the various lines (not just Viking). We find that using Kevin saves us money and aggravation. He is excellent.

We’ve Ocean cruised numerous times, thought we’d try Viking. Very disappointed. They just don’t know how to handle more than 400 passengers IMO. Food was luke warm on way too many occasions. Entertainment sparse. Nice new ship. Also we found out from another passenger with 10 cruises that they don’t have a loyalty program.

We did a long ocean cruise with them. They spoiled us for any other cruise line. 😊. I did see in today’s paper that there is a Viking seminar at the Cline Executive Suites on Sept 11. 352-278-1595. You will love Viking. We have a river cruise booked already

Wow didnt know that there was a cruise line out there without a loyalty program. Wonder why?
