Viking spying demand for long cruises

VIKING ANZ Managing Director Michelle Black has said there is much interest in the cruise line’s longer itineraries, as consumer confidence grows with the resumption of international travel around the world.

The cruise line is encouraging travellers to book now, as remaining availability for next year sells fast, with river cruises also going quickly as travellers rush to book a voyage for 2022.

“Consumer confidence has grown as we continue to see the resumption of international travel around the world,” Black said.

“The past week alone has shown a significant increase in sales with guests eager to secure a stateroom before it’s too late.

“Our guests are eager to get out and travel once again, with much interest in our longer itineraries.”

Viking’s Risk-Free Guarantee is now also available until the end of next month, giving travellers the freedom to change their plans up to 14 days before departure.

Trade partners have access to marketing collateral which can help sell next year’s itineraries via Viking’s Marketing Centre.
