🚨 Egypt has been on your list? This is one to look at TODAY.

I just priced Viking’s Pharaohs & Pyramids itinerary for a potential client departing November 28, 2026, and even I was shocked by the difference between two available promo codes.

$7,898 difference.

Same cruise.
Same date.
Same stateroom category.

Just a dramatically better promo code.

This is exactly why knowing which Viking promotion to use can make such a difference.

The catch? This particular promotion expires TONIGHT, August 31. Tomorrow, I would expect this same sailing to price significantly higher unless Viking replaces it with another comparable offer.

Several other dates currently have similar savings:

November: 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 28 & 29
December: 1, 2 & 3

There are also a few additional dates with balcony staterooms around $6,299 per person, while many other departures are currently pricing around $8,999 per person, plus airfare starting around $999 per person.

If you’ve been dreaming about Egypt, the pyramids, ancient temples and cruising the Nile, this may be the window to make it happen.

And remember, you don’t pay more to book Viking through me. I can help identify the best available promotion, compare dates and staterooms, and continue monitoring your reservation for opportunities to improve the value. And, I add shipboard credits to your booking that may be used for gratuities or excursions.

📩 Message me today if you want me to check pricing for you before this promotion disappears tonight.

🚢 Planning your shore excursions? Here’s a helpful shortcut!

This Viator link lets you search for excursions by cruise port, making it much easier to see what tours and activities are available at each stop on your itinerary. Simply change your ship and sailing date on the left of the screen (on a computer) or on the top (on a mobile device).

This “search by port” option isn’t available when you simply go to the standard Viator website, so be sure to use the link below.

💰 Even better: Now through September 7th, use promo code ENDOFSUMMER2026 at checkout to save 10% on your shore excursions!

Viator can be a great option if you’re looking for:
• Smaller-group tours
• Private excursions
• Alternatives to the cruise line’s offerings
• More choices for how to spend your day in port

If you’re not sure which excursion makes the most sense for a particular port, feel free to ask me. I’m always happy to help you sort through the options!

Save or bookmark this page for your next cruise, and be sure to follow me for more excursion ideas, cruise planning tips, and travel savings along the way.

What if your winter escape looked more like Barcelona, Malta & Morocco? ☀️

This morning, I was looking through Viking’s current promotions, and this one really caught my attention!

Viking’s Malta, Morocco & the Mediterranean itinerary is 16 days/15 nights, roundtrip from Barcelona, visiting 7 countries…and some of the winter departures are especially attractive right now.

⭐ December 12, 2026 - from $6,499 per person with FREE airfare. Enjoy Christmas on board with a decorated ship and a celebration you don’t have to work to achieve.

There are additional December, January and February departures available, with free or reduced airfare on select dates, a FREE beverage package and special promotional fares.

And, remember what’s already included with Viking:

✓ Wi-Fi throughout your cruise
✓ All onboard dining, including Viking’s specialty restaurants — with no specialty dining surcharge
✓ A shore excursion in every port
✓ Beer, wine and soft drinks with onboard lunch and dinner
✓ 24-hour specialty coffees, teas and bottled water

Why the Mediterranean in winter? There are fewer crowds and cooler temperatures can make this a wonderful time for sightseeing. Imagine exploring Barcelona, Malta, Morocco and other Mediterranean destinations without the heat and crowds of peak summer.

It’s also a different kind of winter getaway. Instead of spending a week at a beach resort, you have 15 nights to experience Europe and North Africa, with your ship essentially serving as your floating hotel.

And here’s where the dates really matter. The fares vary considerably:

Dec. 12 - from $6,499 + FREE air
Dec. 27 & 29 - from $7,599 + FREE air (New Year’s Eve on board!)
Jan. 24 - from $7,999 + FREE air

So, I wouldn’t simply choose a date and book it. Let me compare the sailings, promotions and cabin options to find the combination that gives you the best overall value.

⏰ This particular Viking promotion ends Monday, August 31.

If spending part of next winter sailing through the Mediterranean sounds better than spending it at home, message me. I’d be happy to price the options and help you decide which departure makes the most sense

🌍 TRAVEL WITH ME | THE BALTICS | AUGUST 9–19, 2027 🚢

The Baltic region has intrigued me for years, ever since I read Ruta Sepetys’ Between Shades of Gray. That book first sparked my interest in the history and resilience of the Baltic States.

More recently, this exact Oceania sailing made it onto my radar because I have clients who booked it. And, as I looked more closely at the itinerary, I became even more intrigued. In fact, I decided I want to take it too.

So now I’d love to invite others to travel with me on Oceania Cruises’ “Odin’s Odyssey” aboard Insignia, August 9-19, 2027.

While this itinerary does not include Lithuania, it does visit two of the three Baltic States, Latvia and Estonia, along with a wonderful lineup of Northern European ports.

✨ Current early booking fares for this 10 night cruise start at:
• Inside Stateroom: $2,960 pp
• Ocean View: $3,320 pp
• Veranda: $4,887 pp
• Solo Ocean View: $5,600 pp

This option with Oceania Cruises is actually longer and visits more ports than Viking's new and similar itinerary "Baltic Discovery" at much lower prices as well. And, there's a solo option that is not double the price.

If the Baltic has been on your list too, I’d love to have you join me.

📩 Message me “BALTIC” for more information.

THIS is why the date, and even the direction you sail, can matter SO MUCH. ✈️🚢

Take a look at these two Viking Danube Waltz quotes.Same itinerary.

Same departure date - November 3, 2026.
Same Veranda Stateroom category.
Both for two guests flying from RDU.

But there is a $4,198 difference in the total price.

➡️Passau to Budapest: $5,998 total - including FREE airfare
➡️Budapest to Passau: $10,196 total - including reduced airfare

That is not a typo.

One of the things I do as a travel advisor is look beyond simply asking, “What cruise do you want to take?”

I look at which dates offer the best value, which direction makes the most sense, what promotions are available, cabin availability, airfare offers and how all of those pieces work together.

Sometimes moving a trip by a few days, or simply sailing the same itinerary in the opposite direction, can make an ENORMOUS difference.

And the value doesn't stop once the reservation is made. I continue watching Viking promotions for my booked clients. If a new promotion becomes available that may improve the value of an existing booking, I check to see whether it can be applied. Savings are never guaranteed, but having someone continue to watch can make a real difference. And, getting to make a call to you that your price came down is such a joy as well!

This is also why I encourage travelers not to assume that the price they see for one Viking sailing represents the cost of that itinerary. There may be a much better option sitting just a few clicks away.

If a Viking river cruise is on your radar for 2027 or 2028, message me before you book. I’m happy to help compare dates, directions and promotions to find the combination that makes the most sense for your trip and your budget.

And when you book your Viking cruise through me, you still receive all of Viking’s applicable promotions and benefits, plus my planning assistance and any additional advisor benefits I’m able to offer at no cost to you.

One of the many resources I’m constantly watching for my river cruise clients is River Cruise Watch, which tracks conditions that may affect sailings on rivers like the Rhine and Danube.

Here’s an example for an upcoming Viking Rhine Getaway sailing:
https://rivercruisewatch.com/watch/viking-viking-rhine-getaway-class-20260822

River levels can change significantly…sometimes even within a matter of days,and both low water and high water can create challenges for river cruises. That’s why I don’t believe in simply booking a trip and then disappearing until departure.

When my clients have concerns, I’m watching:
🚢 River levels and forecasts
🚢 Recent rainfall and weather patterns
🚢 Reports from current sailings
🚢 Viking communications and operational changes
🚢 Possible ship swaps, itinerary adjustments or transportation changes
🚢 Cancellation and rebooking options when appropriate

There are never guarantees when Mother Nature is involved, but having a travel advisor means you don’t have to try to interpret all of this information by yourself.

My role is to stay informed, help put changing conditions into perspective, and talk through the options with you if concerns arise, especially when you’ve invested thousands of dollars in a trip you’ve been looking forward to for months or even years.

Booking the cruise is only the beginning of what a good travel advisor does.

If you enjoy practical travel updates like this, follow my page for more river cruise tips, travel news and planning advice. And if you’re considering a Rhine, Danube or other river cruise, send me a message, I’d be happy to help you plan it and be there to watch the details along the way. ✈️🚢🌍
