Viking has released a new and improved Travel Advisor Portal designed to provide advisors with the tools and resources needed to sell Viking.
As part of Viking’s ongoing commitment to providing the best support to travel advisors and their clients, the updated platform offers a comprehensive suite of features to enhance the booking experience and streamline the marketing process. Advisor partners can access a wide range of tools, such as engaging marketing content and assets for building co-branded websites, as well as the popular Travel Advisor Academy to learn how to sell Viking’s river, ocean and expedition voyages.
“For 27 years, curious travellers have explored the world in comfort with Viking, and one of the reasons we have enjoyed success is because of our relationships with travel advisors,” said Torstein Hagen, Chairman and CEO of Viking. “We have always had some of the most trade-friendly policies, including our history first and only major cruise line with no NCFs.
“This new and improved portal is the latest step in our effort to be the best business partner for travel advisors,” Hagen said.
