Rare longterm Posted April 22, 2023 #27 Share Posted April 22, 2023 We're planning to book 2 Viking Ocean cruises when we get on board our river cruise this October, so that we can get the on-board discounts, and so that we get a much more favorable final-payment date (6 months out rather than a year or more). Then, once we've booked them, I'll transfer them both to our TA, who I've used only to get the OBC. Any reason why this is *not* a good plan?

formernuke Posted April 22, 2023 #28 Share Posted April 22, 2023 I believe you can't book cruises on a river cruise (no cruise specialist), but you can book afterwards (within 2 weeks I think) and get many of the same benefits. You can also buy a certain number of 2 for 1 vouchers (e.g. $200 face value for $100). Someone please correct me if I am mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can book any cruise (river, ocean, expedition) and get $200pp SBC if you book within 14 days of disembarkation. As long as you have another cruise booked, you can request 6 months PIF. And definitely buy 4 vouchers which you can use on these 2 new cruises as well. The vouchers will be returned if you cancel, so think carefully how many you can use. They’re also transferable too and are condition-proof as long as they’re applied to a new booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve already changed our plan, going on African safaris in 2025 instead, cruises in 26. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
