Creator's Key Takeaways
One thing that you got to know about Viking is they don't always publish the best deal on their website. Terrible to say that, but it's just the reality.
If you're on a Viking cruise and you're ready to take your next one, make sure that you do book on board and that's going to give you the best deal overall.
If you're on board for, you know, a week, that's $280. Two weeks, $560, and so on. So the onboard credit that I add is usually so that you're your gratuitities are taken care of.
