As a Canadian about to take our fourth Viking cruise we have never received (or seen) any such offers and all the ones I have seen posted so far appear to be for US residents only. I get that we are a much smaller market, but I would be happy to pay in US $$, as we were able to do on our first Viking River cruise. We gave Viking a different email address than the one we use to book cruises with Viking and we get promos almost every day now. We’re already booked on the San Juan to Barcelona TA on March 15, so this promo isn’t useful for us. Edited January 27, 2023 by millybess .

I figured they only sent them to those who hadn't traveled much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to Millybess’ post, I believe I have heard of Canadian citizens using a US based travel agent and therefore being able to take advantage of US promos. Of course it means you loose whatever protections that Canadian laws include. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EchoIsland Posted January 28, 2023 #480 Share Posted January 28, 2023 The Viking Rep I spoke with advised Viking would no longer permit Canadians to pay with US $, so it seems unlikely that a US Travel Agent would be able to assist. However, I'll check it out for a future booking. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to see how they could prohibit Canadians from working with a US TA - which I would expect defaults to USD. 🍺🥌 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming Viking is sweeting the offer on the March, 2023 crossing because it is coming up soon and they want to attempt to fill the remaining cabins. We probably won't see similar deals on the Nov 2023 sailing for quite a while. Edited February 1, 2023 by farmecologist 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berlin Bear Posted February 7, 2023 #494 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I have never received post, emails, messages of any sort from Viking, despite having done a few cruises and having specifically requested that they send me „unsolicited“ information 😅. But I’m not writing this to complain, as I think this thread is really good, so I probably don’t need Viking to keep me informed personally. However, I’d be more than happy if some UK based cruisers could also share their promotional material. US promotions often include air fare - not much use to us 😉. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
