Viking welcomed thousands of attendees at their recent Explorer Information sessions held in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and the Gold Coast.
The events saw record levels of attendance, with over 4,000 guests attending over 50 individual sessions throughout February and March, and sales from the events exceeding targets by 130%. Enthusiastic guests were not only able to learn about Viking’s extensive collection of river, ocean and expedition itineraries, but they were able to secure their upcoming travel plans, with exclusive discounts and offers available.
Viking Managing Director ANZ Michelle Black said, “We were delighted by the demand for our Explorer Sessions and thrilled so many prospective guests and trade partners joined us to learn about Viking’s unique product and diverse itineraries. The Explorer Sessions embody a true win-win for our savvy trade partners, not only were the sessions a chance to immerse their clients in the world of Viking but they earn commission on every booking their client made from the events.”
Black added that forward bookings continue to be strong, with some of Viking’s most popular voyages already sold out for 2023 and filling fast for 2024 and 2025. “Now is the time to get your clients to secure their future travel plans, to ensure they have the best choice,” she said.
The Explorer Information Sessions were so popular in Australia that Viking is taking the program to New Zealand in the coming months, with the first session in Dunedin on 4 May. Additional Australian dates will also be announced in the coming months, due to the overwhelming success of the first round.
