I did see that one; unfortunately, it does not include Dec 2022 to the Caribbean. 

I think they are fully booked or nearly so.

Edit (and off topic):  Just notice Iconic Western Med now says Monte Carlo, Monaco as the port, instead of Villefranche-Sur-Mer that we anchored at a few weeks ago.  If the ship will dock at Monaco, that'd be an excellent change.

We are on the Mediterranean Odyssey in April and Monte Carlo is listed as a tender port.

Thanks everyone, I used to code to book the western med in April for some nice savings!

Interesting.  Wonder if it'd still be at Villefranche-Sur-Mer or right by Monaco.

Onboard V Sea now.  See booking offer.  Not as generous as when on V Venus Dec. 2021, when they needed more bookings.

We were on the Sea during Thanksgiving week.  Same offer.  Didn't bother talking to the Future Cruise person.  Even back in March 2022 the offer to book while onboard was better.

[Moonlion]

Agree, on our January '22 cruise, we were offered $600 per person discount for the 15-day BIE cruise we booked while on board (when combining the on board and Explorer Society discounts) and $700 per person for the 16-day SA cruise.  We also got a more generous on board credit for the cruise we were on, and final payment extended to 6 months before the future cruises.  

[Squawkman]

We usually take advantage of the “welcome back” discount which is $200pp SBC on the newly booked cruise regardless of length. Some here said they were denied this discount, but we’ve been using the same Viking age for years and always got it. Must book within 14 days of disembarkation.

I forgot to add that the Welcome Back discount is available after disembarking any Viking cruise. So if you’re on a river cruise, you can purchase $200 for $100 certificates and use them with the Welcome Back discount. For those not familiar, these certificates can be used one per person on newly booked cruises with no effect on any other discounts.

Hi - Wonder if I could get some additional info/clarification. We are currently booked and fully paid for a VO15 day Australian/New Zealand cruise at the end of Feb. 2023. We also booked a VO 15day cruise Italy/The Adriatic/Mediterranean for September 2023. We currently only have a deposit on The Adriatic cruise and I was going to ask onboard our February Australian cruise if we could get any additional discounts for our September cruise, particularly the Welcome back discount. How would the certificates/vouchers play into any of this and is there a maximum amount for the certificates/vouchers one can purchase? Thanks to anyone who can help on this.

Regarding $200 for $100 certificates:  they are only available on Viking river cruises, but can be redeemed on any new Viking cruise (1 redeemed certificate per person). The purchase limit on our Rhine cruise last month was 10 certificates per person. BTW, these certificates are transferable and never expire- they can be combined with other discounts.
 

The only possible way I can think of to use certificates would be to cancel and rebook your September cruise. Not sure if this can be done with the on board Viking agent. Also, any perks other than Explorer society discount would be lost if you rebook. Similarly, I believe you would have to cancel and rebook within 14 days to get the welcome back SBC. I also assume you’re paying cash (not using a future cruise voucher from a cancellation). I’m under the impression that only a Viking agent can do the welcome back credit.

[Fieldofdreams]

Thank you for the follow up. The September cruise is already completely sold out except for Owners Suite. Think we will stay with our current status. Our agent did mention that when we get back he will apply the welcome back credit, thank you for confirming this.

EHT22 appears to be an update/revision of Offer FDA23 <see post #240>, which ended Oct 31, adding prepaid gratuities, but only a subset of the voyages originally covered in FDA23.

It sure does. Just booked Canada and New England Shores. I called my Viking agent and had a bigger choice of cabins than booking directly through the link.

 

Thanks, Selion!

Different target audience for the promotion? Different code can also determine what promotional channel was used and the effectiveness thereof.
