Working With Viking Travel
Viking Travel is a service-oriented business. We maintain a centrally located office in Chapel Hill, very close to Durham, where you can come meet with us in person.
We provide added value through planning and arranging your travel. It's best to let us handle all of your travel arrangements from when you walk out your front door, to your return home. There are only a few minor exceptions; any cruise or tour booked with us will be the exact same price you will find when booking directly. Our agents have access to systems the general consumer does not. We can look at many options, across the board, much more quickly than any consumer surfing the internet. We are not here to sell you specific products, and we book with every major travel supplier. That being said, we do have partnerships with certain travel suppliers, primarily through the consortium we're affiliated with: Ensemble Travel Group. Partnerships through our consortium add another layer of added value through exclusive amenities, to exclusive promotions, to trusted partnerships and established relationships. We only book through travel suppliers who are reliable and trustworthy. The agents at Viking Travel are here to provide you with the most efficient, cost-effective, and safest plan for your travels. Our agents strive to provide unmatched service.
Viking Travel does charge a fee for booking single airline tickets; $35 domestic and $45 international. If we're booking certain tours or cruises, we do not have to charge a ticketing fee for the associated airline tickets. We use wholesalers to package airfares, hotel stays, and day tours. For most major cities, we can waive our ticketing fee if we book a minimum of hotel nights, or rental car days, in conjunction with the airline tickets (the minimum is dependent on the city you're traveling to).
Take the stress out of your travel planning, get the most for your money, let Viking Travel plan and arrange your next trip.
