UPGRADE to Business Class air from $3,500 per person based on select gateways and dates. For personalized air travel accommodations, ask about Viking Air Plus services.
Note: U.S. flights depart one day prior to check-in date. If your cruisetour begins in Beijing, a forced overnight may be required based on available air schedules; in this case, you will need to depart the U.S. one day earlier and the cost of your extra hotel night in Beijing is covered when you purchase all-inclusive roundtrip international air from Viking. This is only available to passengers whose flights arrive on hotel check-in day; may not be combined with custom air, stopovers, deviations and/or extensions.
Paid Business Class may require travel in economy on flights within North America, Europe or Asia. Transfers are included with roundtrip airfare purchase. If air is not purchased from Viking, transfers between airport and ship/hotel may be purchased separately, but are only available to passengers whose flights arrive or depart on check-in or check-out day. Air prices are per person, based on the air departure date and include transfers plus all government taxes and fees of approximately $160 and air fuel surcharges. Air seats are limited; airfares are subject to change and are not guaranteed until full payment of air is received. Additional airline-imposed baggage charges may apply; click here to learn more about airline baggage allowances and fees. Additional gateways are available; see our website or call your travel agent for more information.
2012 SPECIAL SAVINGS: On all sail dates the discount is per stateroom based on double occupancy. Single supplement savings are off applicable rates. Offer good until sold out.
GENERAL RESTRICTIONS: Cruise fares listed are cruise only in U.S. dollars, per person, based on double occupancy. Cruise fares listed are valid for U.S. and Canadian residents only. Cruise ship fuel surcharge may apply. All fares and offers are subject to availability, may not be combinable with other offers except Past Guest Travel Credit and Referral Rewards Credit, are capacity-controlled and may be withdrawn at any time without prior notice. Cruise fares do not include pre-paid charges, optional facilities and service fees, and personal charges, as defined in the terms and conditions of the Passenger Ticket Contract which may be viewed elsewhere on this website. Full brochure fares may not have resulted in actual sales in all stateroom categories and may not have been in effect during the last 90 days. Promotional fares may remain in effect after the expiration date. Air promotion applies to economy, roundtrip flights only from select Viking River Cruises U.S. and Canadian gateways and includes airport-to-ship or hotel transfers, air taxes and air fuel surcharges. Viking reserves the right to correct errors or omissions and to change any and all fares, fees and surcharges at any time. For up-to-date prices, please call Viking or your travel agent.
