If you are a gambler , you could wait and hope for a special deal for your Hawaiian cruise next Fall to fill the ship that would match the price that you would get on board booking, We booked while on board for an Alaska cruise for 2023, We t switched to Scenic Scandinavia June 2023. After we switched last Summer , the price of cruise went down a couple hundred $ , and later they added Silver Spirit package this Fall. Viking does not give you the lower price . Now the cruise is sold out. Your choice.... Mr. Gambler. 🤩 We booked our own airfare. But the Hawaiian cruise is airfare within USA same port of departure. Thanks for the advice. We live outside Los Angeles so air is not necessary. I do intend to talk with the agent onboard, but probably will wait until there is a special. Just tried of not getting what the late bookers are getting. If we can’t get a special, we will check with other cruise lines, possibly going to another destination. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For our July 19th departure V2 is now $1,500 pp less than what we booked last August. Even the revised cabin which we picked up during the December promo which let us move to a DV2 and obtain SS is $300pp less. Oh well😢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vineyard View Posted March 8, 2023 #558 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I keep trying to figure this out too. It seems like it is a crap shoot. Book up front and likely pay more -but also likely save on airfare and hotels - or wait, and possibly pay more for the two other factors and save on the cruise. I sure don’t have the answers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Vineyard View Posted March 8, 2023 #560 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Just now, Clay Clayton said: Well, we think that waiting works better for us but you’re right! It’s so hard to figure out. Booking early gives us better opportunities to use miles and that plays big for us. I wish it was easier. But with the amount of miles it’s taking now, those will be gone sooner than planned! What matters most is just making it happen somehow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

springtravel Posted March 9, 2023 #572 Share Posted March 9, 2023 We tried the code SGM23 for multiple river cruises, and was available on most of the shorter ones. European Sojourn was not one of them. But if you are interested in any of the others, try to code and see if it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deec Posted March 10, 2023 #573 Share Posted March 10, 2023 spoke with Viking...these are the included cruises that will include SSP Thank you for being loyal members of our Viking Explorer Society.

These itineraries will be the Danube Waltz, Grand European Tour, Lyon & Provence, Paris to the Swiss Alps, Rhine Getaway, & Romantic Danube. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, Viking does not specific exactly which specific dates qualify for this sale. If you go to the various sale itineraries, it appears that the early dates have the stateroom upgrade and dates after summer 2024 do not, even though they appear in the price and build list from this web site sale page. You have to be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
