| Viking adds fly free

VIKING River Cruises has
released its “best ever” early bird
offers, including free economy
return airfares with every booking
of a 2017 European river or ocean
cruise itinerary regardless of date
or stateroom category.
Passengers can also “customise”
their airfare by selecting
Singapore Airlines, Emirates,
Qantas or Cathay Pacific for an
additional $250, and there’s also
a business class add-on for $4,999
per person flying with Emirates,
Qantas or Singapore Airlines.
A Qatar Airways special offers
a mixed class add-on for $2,999
per person or full business class
for $3,999 per person, valid for all
flight dates 01 Jan-31 Dec 2017.
Viking is inviting agents to
become an “Official Viking Expert”
by completing training courses
on its ocean and river cruise
products, with a $100 Coles Myer
gift card on offer for those who
finish by 31 May.

MEANWHILE Viking Cruises has
also taken delivery of its second
ocean cruise ship, with the new
Viking Sea currently sailing on her
maiden voyage from Istanbul to
Venice.
The addition means Viking has
now doubled the size of its ocean
fleet, with Viking Sea meeting
Viking Star in Santorini last week.
