Club Cruise, a leading West Coast travel agency, has taken a significant step in luxury travel consultation by establishing a new department exclusively for Viking Cruise travelers. This initiative is spearheaded by Heather Faith Huber, a notable figure in the travel industry recently recognized as a 30 Under 30 Luxury Travel Advisor's Rising Star. Huber's deep expertise in Viking river and ocean cruise offerings has been pivotal in the department's success.
The agency's focus on Viking Cruises has yielded impressive results, with a 44% increase in Viking River Cruises and a 61% increase in Viking Ocean Cruises sales over the past 18 months. Huber's leadership has not only attracted high-end clientele but also converted first-time passengers into loyal Viking travelers. This growth is indicative of the department's ability to meet the sophisticated demands of luxury travelers.
With over 90% of 2025 cruise inventory already sold out, the department plays a critical role in securing remaining spaces for clients. It offers a range of exclusive services, including obtaining free airfare and leveraging special offers. The team consists of Viking-certified agents who go beyond traditional booking services to provide personalized and comprehensive travel planning.
Heather Faith Huber highlights the department's dedication to fostering meaningful relationships with clients, who typically invest between $15,000 and $35,000 per journey. The department distinguishes itself with unique benefits such as expert agent consultation, local concierge support, custom trip planning, and priority access to Viking cruise opportunities. As a President's Club member of the Travel Leaders Network and a long-standing partner of Viking Cruises, Club Cruise reaffirms its commitment to offering unparalleled luxury travel experiences with exceptional service and value.
