Cruise Weekly

Viking email learning

-

VIKING is inviting travel agents to become an expert on Viking Expedition­s with a dedicated training email beginning Mon.

Agents can register to receive the seven weekly emails, in which they will learn about what Viking’s two purpose-built expedition ships (CW 17 Jan) will offer to their clients, and the benefits of booking one.

The cruise line also plans to run a similar series for its newly launched Viking Mississipp­i river cruises.

“Our bespoke Viking Expedition­s trade training email program is perfect for agents who are looking for opportunit­ies to upskill while spending more time at home,” said Viking ANZ Trade Marketing Manager Erin Kramer.

“By boosting your expertise in this increasing­ly popular category, you maximise your opportunit­ies to increase your commission too.

“With departures in 2022 and 2023, all backed by our risk-free, Viking offers your clients peace of mind to plan in advance.”

The company’s first purposebui­lt expedition ship is the 378-guest Viking Octan s, due Jan 2022, and slated to sail voyages to Antarctica and North America’s Great Lakes.

The second expedition vessel, Viking Polaris, will debut in seven months later in Aug, sailing to the poles.

The ships will boast industryfi­rsts, such as two compliment­ary underwater submersibl­es, which are launched from an enclosed, in-ship marina called The Hangar; and an onboard laboratory, where resident scientists will conduct important research which guests can take part in as part of Viking’s Cultural Curriculum.
