About Me

Viking River & Ocean Cruise Specialist

As the ‘Viking Queen,’ I specialize in Viking River and Ocean Cruises, helping travelers plan iconic journeys such as the Grand European Tour, the Rhine and Danube, and Viking’s Mediterranean and Northern Europe itineraries. My expertise extends to Christmas Markets, back-to-back Viking sailings, and seamless trip planning using My Viking Journey. Clients trust me because I’ve personally experienced Viking and understand every detail—from excursions and dining times to the best pre- and post-cruise stays. In addition to Viking, I design unforgettable Tahiti getaways with Windstar and Paul Gauguin, including overwater bungalows and yacht-style cruising. For clients seeking ultra-luxury, I also work with Regent, Seabourn and Silversea. Whether it’s your first river cruise or your 10th luxury sailing, my goal is to make every step effortless, so all you have to do is enjoy the journey. With 50+ 5-star reviews, I’m proud to be a trusted travel agent delivering concierge-level service

Yoga Retreat to Costa Rica
Reviewed By Millie Rose - Sacramento, CA | Traveled to Costa Rica ~ Central America
I LOVE HEATHER! I am a solo old grandma and she was the sweetest woman to work with. She made me feel empowered and comfortable traveling alone. I went on a yoga retreat after losing my husband and it was one of the best things Ive ever done for myself. Heather set me up with an itinerary with links to each step of the way. It was very simple but completely thought through.

Yacht Charter to Tahiti
Reviewed By Shannon & Ryan - Sacramento, CA | Traveled to Tahiti ~ French Polynesia ~ South Pacific
Heather's office at Club Cruise is really close to us so we went and checked it out. We wanted to charter a yacht for my husbands 50th birthday with a few close friends. Not only did we leave our meeting with her feeling very informed but we left with a PLAN to spend 10 days in Tahiti. From the night before we took off to the return of all of the people we traveled with Heather was constantly communicating with us and even booked us tours and upgraded flights during our trip. She is extremely kind and also very knowledgeable!
Heather Viking responded
"I am here for you every step of the way. You both were so wonderful to work with. Next stop Paris! "
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

She Made Japan Easy
Reviewed By Katie H. - Orlando, FL | Traveled to Tokyo | Japan | East and Southeast Asia
Japan is amazing but can be overwhelming if you don’t speak the language, and Heather made it effortless for us. She walked us through everything from train passes to hotel apps, and even sent restaurant recommendations with translations so we knew exactly what to order!
Heather Viking responded
"I’m so glad Japan felt effortless for you! Navigating train passes, hotel apps, and even menus can feel overwhelming, so I love taking the stress out with clear guidance and translation tips. Many know me as Heather Viking on TLN for my Viking Cruises expertise, but I’m also a full-service advisor for journeys like Japan. In fact, I’ll be traveling there soon myself—always learning more to help future clients on Viking with Executive Team. – Heather Viking | Diamond-Level Viking Expert on TLN"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
