It’s back! Viking River Cruises is running a promotion where select all-inclusive European voyages start from $1,999 per person on select itineraries (standard cabins) through June 30.

But non-cruisers or first-time cruisers might love to know that this is what Viking is not:

  • No casinos
  • No children under 18
  • No umbrella drinks
  • No photography sales or art auctions
  • No inside staterooms
  • No smoking
  • No waiting in lines
  • No formal nights, butlers, or white gloves

What are Viking’s cancellations policies? Once cancellation notice is received the following charges will apply:

  • 121 days or more is $100 per person
  • 120-90 days is 15% of full fare
  • 89-60 days is 35% of full fare
  • 59-30 days is 50% of full fare
  • 29-0 days is 100% of full fare
  • Full Fare is defined as the full cost of any cruise, land or air component purchased from Viking (exceptions apply for Viking’s World Cruise).

Viking offers the opportunity to purchase the Viking Travel Protection Plan when you purchase the plan within 14 days of your initial deposit/payment for your cruise. This plan allows you to cancel your Viking travel arrangements before your scheduled departure for any reason and receive a Viking Cruises Voucher for the cancellation penalty amount. Viking’s Travel Protection Plan also covers your flights purchased through Viking. (Not available for Canadian residents.)

As with any cruise, we strongly suggest you book with a certified travel professional. He or she may be able to find you even better deals and assist you through the final payment process and answer any questions you may have before you sail (and a lot quicker than contacting the cruise line directly). Find a cruise travel agent in your neighborhood at CLIA, Cruise Lines International Association.

Book by June 30. See Clark’s travel planning and booking guideΒ for the best tips on stress-free travel, and check outΒ InsureMyTrip.comΒ for travel insurance.
