Didn't receive an invite, since we haven't completed the cruise yet. Tried signing in with our booking number and was surprised when it was accepted.

Bad move on Viking's part if they truly want us to keep quiet about it. They can request but they cannot require and they have no recourse if we do talk about it. But then again a secret is news you share one person at a time and what a better way to spread news than to say it is a secret. It is a marketing ploy -- and a bad one at that. Even worse, what a bad move to announce when too many details have not been decided on. Possible red herring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Avery Posted October 14, 2019 #57 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Like I posted earlier, my TA, a major national TA, sent me all the info including pricing the same day we got our packets onboard Sun. Not exactly a secret or "exclusive".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they have a lot of competition in the expedition category. For one thing these ships have too many passengers compared to the competition. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squawkman Posted October 14, 2019 #60 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I work with the same Viking agent who called me about it last week. Never received an email, but did check the link - interesting, but not for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One sailing and you are a member of the Explorer Society. IMHO, it is a nice gesture by Viking ; it is the secret business that I can have done without.

philw1776 Posted October 15, 2019 #64 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Received a special announcement in the mail last week. Beautiful cover and fancy brochure inside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharTrav Posted November 29, 2019 #65 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Am I the only one who stuck with the request not to blab?😃 By the way, when I looked yesterday - there was a write up about it on Cruise Mapper - https://www.cruisemapper.com/ships/Viking-Octantis-1805. Decided to look after a conversation with sister in law who is going to the antarctic next year with some other group. Learned about this thread from her as well.
