Viking has opened registrations for its 2025 regional Australian Explorer Sessions, aimed at equipping travel advisors and their clients with information on new Scandinavian, Northern European and Mediterranean itineraries, new to Viking destinations, culturally enriching onshore and onboard enrichment experiences.
The Viking Explorer Sessions provide an opportunity to connect with Viking Commercial Managers and discover the Viking Difference through Viking’s award-winning river, ocean, and expedition journeys.
The regional showcase commences in Ipswich, Queensland on Tuesday 4 February 2025. Viking is hosting sessions in 44 regions across the country, in six states and one territory, including New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, Western Australia and the Australian Capital Territory between 4 February and 3 April 2025.

“Whether attendees are interested in polar expeditions, new ports, European river journeys, or Mediterranean, Scandinavian or Asia ocean voyages our information sessions are relevant to every curious traveller’s agenda.”
“These sessions are so valuable in educating, engaging and motivating clients to make their next travel booking, making attending these sessions a smart business decision for savvy agents,” said Black.
Debbie Eyers of Flight Centre Narellan said: “I recommend these sessions to all my clients who are looking at doing something a little bit different. To me, having that boutique experience and personal service is so much nicer and it makes selling a lot easier.”
Explorer Sessions are scheduled twice daily at 10:00 am and 6:30 pm and last for 75 minutes. Complimentary light refreshments will be served during the 30 minutes prior to each session, providing an opportunity for networking amongst new and past guests and agents.
Attendees will not only leave the session informed and inspired to book but will also receive an exclusive offer, encouraging them to secure their booking with their agent within 14 days of the event.
Registration is essential as availability is limited, and places are expected to fill fast. For group bookings of four or more, please email infosessions.anz@vikingcruises.com.
Viking is planning a series of metropolitan Australian information sessions for travel advisors and their clients in late 2025. More information about these sessions will be available in the second half of the year.
