World and Grand Voyages Payment schedule

[KAM69]

Would like to get some feedback on the Viking's World and Grand Voyages payment schedule.

As these cruises are a significant amount of money what are the cruise payment terms that you have made?

Appreciate any insight you can offer.

We booked a combo two week New Zealand and  4 week Australian cruise for 2025. With the add on land trip, we are gone 7 weeks. The on board consultant was able to half the required deposit so we paid $2,000 each.the final pat date for the 1/4/2025 cruise is July 2024. She had to get approval from her shoreside boss.

 

they knew we wouldn't book the cruise if we had to pay the whole thing at booking. She claimed that sometimes these exceptions are not granted. We did not include Viking air or a drink package.

Our first World Cruise, which was our first ever Viking Cruise we had PIF at 6 months before departure. For the 2nd WC the basic PIF was also 6 months before, but they had an offer of about 4% discount to pay about 1 year before departure.

Our WC (the one we are on) had a 10% payment.  It had a paid in full date 6 months from sailing, and we put down another third (a Covid cancellation voucher) about 18 months before we sailed.  We paid the balance by ACH transfer, which was another 3.3% off.
