Squawkman Posted September 3 #1853 Share Posted September 3 3 hours ago, CDNPolar said: Thanks - have a booking under the "End of Summer Sale" but was looking for further discount. When we booked this cruise, the only discounts we had were a Welcome Back discount and applying vouchers bought on a river cruise. This is a popular cruise that sells out quickly and it was maybe the only one that didn’t have a special promotion. We booked about 16 months ahead of sailing and monitored promos with the intent to cancel and rebook - but it didn’t happen. The only thing that did happen is that fares went up the month after we booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MARTYsmom Posted September 5 #1860 Share Posted September 5 We will be on the iconic Mediterranean cruise this December. Is it better to book a future cruise on board? Any extra specials for end of year? We are looking at panama canal and Alaskan cruises for 2025. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it better to book a future cruise on board? Any extra specials for end of year? We are looking at panama canal and Alaskan cruises for 2025. The biggest advantage to booking onboard is the OBC you get on the current cruise, a future OBC, a discount, and the deferred 6 month payment in full. The current cruise OBC should be close to covering the gratuities, which is why it’s a good idea never to pre pay those. Since you already have a cruise booked, any new booking is eligible for a 6 month PIF (be sure to ask for it), so this no additional benefit to you. Recently Viking has started offering Future Guest promotions (for people with a future cruise booked) which essentially gives a similar discount to what you might get by booking onboard. They may send a letter or contact you by phone to make a pitch. The real issue is if you want to wait until December to book an Alaska cruise for the summer. Your preferred room class/location might not be available. Also, if you are looking at taking a Viking extension, it might be filled up. IMO if you find a good promotion before December, use it. Otherwise you might want to inquire about a Future Guest promotion with a Viking TA. If there are specials at year’s end, they will probably be released in January, not December. There should be a 2027 schedule release around November. Edited September 5 by OneSixtyToOne 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too would like to thank Florida Flounder for posting all the special offer codes. After speaking with our travel agent we were eligible for the ASM24 on our Grand Hawaii French Polynesian cruise for January 2025. Our cruise is paid in full so we will be receiving a $7,700 refund!!! Thank you You're welcome! WOW!!! A $7,700 refund is HUGE!!! 🥳 Sorry for not posting any promo codes for the last 2 weeks...I was on a trip to China and couldn't open any apps to include Google. 😮 It was nice to be off the grid but I'm so happy to be back. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wannavacay Posted September 6 #1866 Share Posted September 6 Thanks to everyone who is sharing. We are trying to figure out how to get the End of Summer sale applied & also don't see a promo code. When you price it out on their site, it doesn't zero out the airfare. We're prob going to call tomorrow but let me know if there's a trick to getting their site to update when there's a promo without a code. TY!

We have an October 2024 cruise and will likely wait until onboard before considering any additional bookings for two reasons. One, we haven’t sailed with Viking since 2019 (though we had 2020 and 2021that were cancelled) and want to evaluate the brand before committing to future cruises, though the $25 pp deposit is attractive as a placeholder. Two, our letter offer required PIF by October 31, 2024 for a 14 nights itinerary in 2025. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knotagain68 Posted September 7 #1872 Share Posted September 7 Can you use the "special future guest promotion" two months in a row? Can you use it even if you didn't get the letter in the mail that month? Sorry if this has been asked already, but 75 pages is a lot to read through!

Go for a minimum of 5 days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
