The Best Times To Book a River Cruise To Save The Most Money
When you book your trip will make a big difference in cost, so here are some of the best times to book a river cruise in order to get the best deal.
Book
When the River Cruise Line is Offering a Special Deal.
Viking offers special discounts for cruises during their off-season times which
are scattered throughout the year. It's a safe bet that you'll be able to find a
discount during the quiet season sailing the Mediterranean, Europe in late fall,
the Caribbean in late spring, and late summer, though you'll want
to research specific dates before you book. It's pretty easy to find
money-saving river cruise sailings once you know where
to look.
Occasionally vacation packages will also include 2-for-1 Cruise Fares plus Free
Airfare. Free Gratuities, Reduced Airfares under $500,
and Stateroom Upgrades may also be on offer. Anyone who's
cruised before knows that these deals are definitely worth
grabbing.
This probably seems like a no-brainer, but many people still have the misconception that river cruises will be cheaper if they buy them directly from the cruise line. That is, simply, just not true. Travel Agents have the best available offers, including exclusive 'packaged" prices and amenities. Often sweetened with shipboard spending cash, cabin upgrades and other incentives. Plus, you get your very own knowledgeable well-traveled river cruise expert, not a different order-taker, each time you call.

"This was our first river cruise, and the experience on Viking Forseti on the Châteaux, Rivers & Wine cruise has won us over . The education and appreciation gained from the knowledgeable Viking tour guides and Program Director were outstanding! In fact, the whole staff, the food, the vessel and everything about the trip was outstanding. As soon as we returned home we booked the Portraits of Southern France cruise in September."
