Viking has announced a new incentive for travel agents across Australia and New Zealand, offering a generous bonus through its Rewards by Viking program for bookings made in May 2025.

The promotion is aimed at encouraging agents to book Viking’s thoughtfully curated pre- and post-cruise extensions, which enhance the travel experience for clients by including centrally located hotels, guided excursions, and seamless transfers.

From 1 to 31 May 2025, agents will receive 2,000 Rewards by Viking points—valued at AUD $50—for every extension added to a new booking. If both a pre- and post-extension are included in the same booking, agents will earn 4,000 points (AUD $100). These rewards are in addition to regular commission and are applicable to both solo and twin bookings.

To qualify, bookings must be secured with a full deposit within the promotional period. Bonus points will be credited to agents’ accounts by 30 June 2025. Agents not already enrolled in the Rewards by Viking program have until the same date to join and will be credited retroactively for eligible bookings made during May.

Viking’s curated extensions are designed to eliminate the stress of organising additional travel arrangements, offering a more enriching and streamlined journey for clients. Each package includes:

  • Elegant, centrally located hotels
  • Guided excursions with local experts
  • Viking hosts to manage logistics
  • Smooth transfers between ship and shore

Popular extension options include:

  • 3-night Prague pre-extension (for the 15-day Grand European Tour) — Explore the Czech capital’s historic charm, including Hradčany Castle and Charles Bridge.
  • 2-night Amsterdam post-extension — Discover the canals and cultural heritage of Amsterdam, including the Anne Frank House and Jordaan district.
  • 3-night Transylvania & Bucharest post-extension (for the European Sojourn) — Visit Brașov, Dracula’s Castle, and Peleș Castle in Romania.

  • 2-night Oslo & Scenic Train pre-extension — Travel the renowned Bergen Railway and explore Norway’s capital, ideal for those booked on the Iceland & Norway’s Arctic Explorer itinerary.
