Viking Cruises is setting sail to empower Australian travel agents and clients with its highly anticipated 2025 regional information sessions. Spanning 44 regions across six states and one territory, these sessions promise an invaluable tool for sales success. Starting in Ipswich, Queensland, on Tuesday, 4 February 2025, the sessions will run until Thursday, 3 April 2025, delivering inspiration and actionable insights for seasoned agents and curious travellers alike.

With a firm commitment to innovation, Viking Cruises is renowned for its award-winning river, ocean, and expedition voyages. Now, it’s inviting agents and clients to dive deeper into new itineraries and the Viking Difference.

Connecting Agents, Clients, and Viking’s Vision

Travel agents and their clients will have the rare opportunity to connect with Viking’s Commercial Managers during the sessions. This direct engagement enables participants to explore Viking’s culturally enriching onshore experiences, exceptional onboard enrichment, and new itineraries across Scandinavia, Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, and beyond.

“Our sessions are perfect for those new to Viking as well as our loyal past guests. Whether attendees are interested in polar expeditions, new ports, European river journeys, or Mediterranean, Scandinavian, or Asian ocean voyages, our information sessions are relevant to every curious traveler’s agenda,” said Michelle Black, Viking Managing Director ANZ.

What to Expect

Each session is designed for maximum impact, running for 75 minutes with two daily time slots: 10:30 am and 6:30 pm. Guests are welcomed with complimentary light refreshments 30 minutes before each session, offering a chance to network and share travel aspirations.

Key highlights include:

New itineraries for 2025, such as Mediterranean and Scandinavian voyages.
Exclusive offers for attendees, encouraging bookings within 14 days.
Tailored inspiration for agents to boost client bookings and enhance their expertise.

Debbie Eyers from Flight Centre Narellan shared her thoughts:
“I recommend these sessions to all my clients who are looking at doing something a little bit different. To me, having that boutique experience and personal service is so much nicer, and it makes selling a lot easier.”
