Aussie travel advisors and their clients can check out Viking Orion, Viking Sky and Viking Neptune – when the three small ships visit ports on Australia’s east coast during the 2023-24 summer cruise season.
Agents are invited to participate in a one-hour hosted ship inspection to view the ship’s facilities, public areas and stateroom categories.
The tour includes seven indoor and outdoor dining venues, the Nordic Spa and state-of-the-art fitness centre, the pools, theatre and cinemas, The Living Room and the Explorers’ Lounge plus the opportunity for a Q&A session with the host in one of the ship’s bars or dining areas.
Advisors can register for one of the 16 ship inspections, which will begin in Newcastle on 4 December 2023.
The ships are also open for trade inspection in Sydney from 6 December 2023, Melbourne from 2 February 2023 and Cairns from 21 February 2024.
ANZ Managing Director Michelle Black said: “We are excited to welcome agents and their clients aboard to experience the Viking difference.”
“Our inspections offer a valuable opportunity to get a taste of life on board, experience a little Viking hospitality and connect with a representative who can answer all-important questions for their clients.”
Main Beach Travel agent Brigid Avery, who inspected Viking Mars in March 2023, said: “Despite being in the industry for over 30 years and selling plenty of cruises, I’ve never actually been on a cruise ship – other than expedition – so this was a wonderful learning opportunity.”
Agent should register for their preferred ship inspection date as soon as possible as availability is limited and places are filling fast.
