New commission program
As we continue to celebrate Travel Agent Appreciation Month, Viking presents to you a new override “tiered” commission program. You now have the chance to earn up to an additional 3% override commission! Starting at the existing base commission level of 12%, independent or non-aligned agencies’ commission tiers begin at an additional 1% for $15,000 in bookings, increases to 2% for sales over $50,000 and goes up to 3% for sales over $100,000. This is an override commission paid at year end 2009 based on all 2009 sailings.

We support you
Viking is dedicated to the travel agent community. The knowledgeable, professional Travel Consultants in our call center are ready and waiting to answer your questions quickly and completely. In fact, your call will be answered within an average of 10 seconds. We have a team of 15 District Sales Managers in North America to assist with product training, marketing support and collateral materials, as well as "cruise nights" and other events to further develop your river cruise business.

$250 bonus commission
Don’t forget to take advantage of our best ever bonus commission for 2009—You can earn an extra $250 per stateroom on all new 2009 bookings in Europe, Russia or China made between now and July 31, 2008. And the agent who sends in the largest number of valid $250 bonus commission coupons between now and July 31st will win a trip for two with Viking River Cruises.

Early booking incentive
To help close the sale, apply our popular Early Booking Discount—$1,000 savings per couple—on any 2009 itinerary if your clients book and pay in full by July 31, 2008.

Satisfaction Guaranteed
99.8% of guests who sailed with Viking in 2007 rated us as having met, exceeded, or far exceeded their expectations. We are so confident your clients will be delighted that we guarantee it. Satisfied guests means more repeat bookings for you.

High rankings from those who know
We have consistently placed high on competitive rankings from Condé Nast Traveler’s Gold List to being named Travel Weekly’s #1 River Cruise Line. Viking is also featured in National Geographic’s 2008 edition of The 10 Best of Everything. And it has just been announced that Viking is the highest ranked dedicated river cruise line according to the 2008 Travel + Leisure “World’s Best” guest satisfaction survey.
