Once pax have cancelled according to the proper terms and paid whatever penalties are in force, they should be "free agents", able to book whatever cruise they wish - including the same trip that might now be discounted - subject to availability. I know of nothing in the Viking terms and conditions that restricts pax from selected future bookings just because they cancelled a prior trip - would love to see that if someone knows otherwise. If Viking is inventing new booking rules to preclude pax from properly exercising contractual terms to their benefit, I'd be extremely disappointed. Hopefully, someone will cancel and rebook the next day to test this and let us know. 🍺🥌 CurlerRob - I totally agree with you! We had done this a couple times in the past with no issues (cancel at >120 days, pay the $100pp penalty, and book the same cruise at the sale price). I do wonder if Viking has changed the rules this year however. I could find nothing in writing on this. Several phone calls to them shared the same result - no re-booking the same identical cruise. So had our TA try. Same result. TA did find a clever workaround - you can "transfer" the original booking to a future cruise (keeping the same booking number). Since we had just a $25 deposit pp, at some point we will just cancel that "dummy booking" and give up the $25. We did some dummy cruise in 2025. The TA then booked the promo cruise as a new booking #, saving thousands. (on the itinerary we had just "given up"). Once room inventory freed up (takes a day), we even got our same cabin number back. This probably works best if you haven't paid anything except the deposit. FYI - looking forward to meeting you soon on our Saturn Iceland cruise! Kent Edited April 18, 2023 by CCWineLover 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well! ☹️ May I suggest having your TA call the L/A Office until they receive an agent that knows the booking rules. Sadly, dealing with L/A agents lacking in training/experience is all too common. I expect my TA to ask the Viking agent on what grounds they are refusing to rebook the same cruise once you cancelled, as that is the question I would be asking my TA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
