crickette Posted September 3, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Viking has a promotion - free air from 7 Canadian cities. I've searched the site to no avail. Can anyone tell me the names of the 7? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrina651 Posted September 3, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Crickette, I found it. On the Canada site for the applicable cruise, on the dates and pricing tab, click where it says Free Air from 7 Cities, then scroll down the page until you see the link in small print that says selected gateway--it's a pop-up window. Here's a link to the page just to make it easier: https://www.vikingcruisescanada.com/oceans/cruise-destinations/caribbean-americas/west-indies-explorer/pricing.html Boy, they did not make it easy to find!!! Answer: Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver and Winnipeg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crickette Posted September 3, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Thanks Peregrina. Thanks for the prompt reply too. Glad you agree they made it hard to find. They also don't have a decent cruise calendar, which makes navigating their site difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marylovestotravel Posted September 3, 2017 #5 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I was getting excited about the possibilities but Peregrina's link led only to a West Indies cruise. So I checked out what else was available by searching "free air". There's some choice, but unfortunately, not every cruise is free air. :( Mia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoHoHo Posted September 3, 2017 #6 Share Posted September 3, 2017 (edited) Agree - thanks Peregrina651. I thought 'how hard can this really be" and then looked myself. You win!! I missed it until I followed your exact step-by-step. And marylovestotravel, I find these types of promotions confusing and frustrating. Not just hear. I gave up a couple of times trying to book an Azamara cruise on a air promo, not on this cruise but is on that. Oh, air on this is included from your gateway but air i not included on that at all and this one over here does have free air but only from a nearby gateway, etc. In their case the 2nd time I tried I eventually called the cruise line and still did not end up booking. I think it is so that they can get the most bang for their promotional announcement "LOOK INCLUDED AIR FOR YOU" but only for a few cruises. Actually who knows how many without trolling through them all (not me!). Some other cruise lines are more up front to show the qualifiers. Too bad Viking is not as respectful Edited September 3, 2017 by YoHoHo Add "some" to last line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you follow the Viking website carefully, they will sometimes offer free air for European destinations. And these offerings will change from month to month. Last month, there were a couple of river cruises that were offering free air. I haven't checked out what it is this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genoabay Posted September 8, 2017 #9 Share Posted September 8, 2017 We are taking the Turquoise Caribbean Seas cruise in February 2018. We live on the west coast of Canada. We were offered free air from either Vancouver or Victoria depending on which was convenient for us, so I believe we could add Victoria to the list of Canadian gateways?

It could be that they are offering departures from Victoria for just your sailing or just for the month of February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
