Creator's Key Takeaways

What you have to understand as a travel advisor is that not one size fits all when it's a luxury experience.

I position Viking as a destination-focused, all-inclusive, adults-only experience.

Don't be afraid of asking and qualifying your client.

We're at our 103 ships. Wow. 103 ships out in the market that all of you can sell, of course.
