And Andy is on the money with Viking requires early full payment...because they can. Most loyal clientelle I have ever seen.

Guilty as charged!

In the UK we pay the balance 100 days prior, but as is the norm here, we pay 25% non refundable deposits and there is no cancel for any reason insurance.

As Andy states, the reason they do this is because they can.  We have found only two ways to avoid paying so far in advance.  1.  Don't sail with Viking.  2.  Book closer to sail date and just pay in full at time of booking.  Yes you might miss your preferred cabin but just about every ship sails every voyage with a few unsold cabins. We have been stand by for three "sold out' voyages and have gotten what we wanted all three times.

This is going to be our route going forward. No more booking a year in advance. Too many things can change, and we’d rather hold onto our money ourselves.
