I've been on 15 trips with Viking and have been sailing with them since 2015 so I'm not sure why I all of a sudden started getting these.🤷♀️ I'm not complaining though.🙃 You're lucky! I've been on 14 trips with Viking and do not get codes from Viking. The only codes I are from this website. Thank you to everyone who posts.

We really want to do an expedition but the code only takes a couple USD off per person....still too expensive in MHO. Thank you for any info. So grateful for this roll call.

Thank you to all that post codes. Just my 2 cents: I don't mind saying that a particular promo saved me X$. Nor do I mind saying that the cruise I booked 2 years ago has gone up in price by 40%. I'm not sure I could post how much I paid for a cruise. Somebody could post that they paid less and that would make me unhappy. Somebody could post that they paid more and that would make them unhappy. I think it's a personal thing and what you pay is what you feel comfortable paying. However, I know you asked @CurlerRob and he might feel differently. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really want to do an expedition but the code only takes a couple USD off per person....still too expensive in MHO. Thank you for any info. So grateful for this roll call. Thank you to all that post codes. I prefer not to share the specific details and I don't think they would be relevant in any case - but in looking at your comment that the offer code "only takes a couple USD off per person", I was curious enough to go back and look at the offer code impact on a number of Antarctic cruises. I discovered that both the original cruise price and the level of offer savings is highly dependent on two factors (as always): the voyage date and the cabin class. What surprised me was the degree to which pricing changed depending on both factors. Looking at various combinations yielded cruise prices that varied by many thousands of dollars pp, depending on the choices you make. For example, one cruise I tested shows significant reductions across all cabin classes when using the code for a January/25 sailing - but those reduced prices are identical to the base prices for the same trip in Nov/25 - the code does nothing for the Nov trip. In this example, timing is the controlling factor. Other trips were quite different in how they played out. I presume you've done a mock booking in order to make the statement about limited savings. If you want to see the impact of the offer code, do the mock booking including the offer code, pick your cabin class, look at the price, then remove the offer code. That will clearly show the difference. If there's no difference, then the voyage you're looking at is not affected by the offer code. But also look at the effect of when you look to sail. In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have posted the savings value - my intent was only to express my appreciation to @FLORIDA FLOUNDER for making me aware of an opportunity that I otherwise would likely have missed (I'm among those who don't seem to get many of the promos and I don't spend a lot of time revisiting the current pricing on a booked cruise - although I may alter that behaviour going forward!). When we booked the cruise originally, we decided that the price was acceptable for the value we perceived. Being fortunate enough to realize a major savings just increases the value proposition for us. Only you can decide if any expedition price represents value to you. Happy cruising! 🍺🥌 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what the big deal is. It use to be one click to the website and then validation with face ID, now it's two clicks and an unneeded email that needs cleanup. Plus they still haven't fixed the open connection issue. First world problem, I know, but poor interface design is one of my pet peeves. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
