Viking has announced the dates for its first round of 2023 Viking Explorer information sessions in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
The complimentary Viking Explorer Sessions are the perfect opportunity for travel agents and their clients to learn about Viking’s range of river, ocean and expedition voyages. Designed for new-to-Viking guests, seasoned Viking travellers, and travel agents, guests and agents can learn what makes Viking uniquely different, what’s new for 2023 and beyond and some of the fascinating destinations you can explore with Viking.
With eight information sessions to choose from, each covering an extraordinary Viking experience or an intriguing destination, attendees can interact with like-minded guests and ask questions specific to their situation. Viking experts will be on hand to answer any questions and exclusive special booking offers will be available on the day.
Celebrated author, lecturer, expedition leader and one of Australia’s leading experts in the polar regions, David McGonigal, will be a special guest presenter at the Expedition Cruising sessions. David will share his knowledge and personal experiences from more than 130 Antarctic expeditions including onboard Viking’s new expedition vessels.
Viking Managing Director ANZ Michelle Black said, “Each session has been tailored for a different audience. Our Introduction to Viking session is perfect for those new to Viking, it covers the difference between ocean, river and expedition voyages and what life is like on our ships. Our destination sessions are for those who already know where they want to explore and our Unique destinations with Viking is dedicated to our loyal guests who have already explored many regions with us and are looking for something different.”
Black added that forward bookings continue to be strong, with some of Viking’s most popular voyages already sold out for 2023 and booking fast for 2024. “Now is the time to get your clients to secure their future travel plans, we have some fantastic deals as part of our current Explorer Sale and there’s additional offers on the day,” she said.
