When we were considering booking our first Viking Ocean, I went directly to their website, since we were joining another couple that had already booked. After looking at the prices, I decided to see if there were any deals out there. I was fortunate to discover one of the big box stores booked Viking. We were able to get up to a DV1 for V2 price (settled on a DV2 for location) Also got SBC and silver spirits package at no additional charge. It was probably part of a promo that Viking was doing, and part TA, but were very happy we booked with him. He called a few times to make sure we had everything we needed, and called the week after we returned. I will use him for all my travel needs in the future, after doing it all myself, all these years. Will probably still book my own hotels in the future.
